Veo video models on AI Gateway

Generate photorealistic videos with synchronized audio using Google's Veo models, now available through AI Gateway. Try them out now via AI SDK 6 or by selecting the models in the AI Gateway playground.

Veo models are known for their cinematic quality and audio generation:

• Native Audio Generation: Automatically generate realistic sound effects, ambient audio, and even dialogue that matches your video

• Up to 1080p Resolution: Generate videos at 720p and 1080p

• Photorealistic Quality: Realism for nature, wildlife, and cinematic scenes

• Image-to-Video: Animate still photos with natural motion

• Fast Mode: Quicker generation when you need rapid iterations

Video generation is in beta and currently available for Pro and Enterprise plans and paid AI Gateway users.

• AI SDK 6: Generate videos programmatically AI SDK 6's generateVideo.

1
import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai';
2

3
const { videos } = await generateVideo({
4
  model: 'google/veo-3.1-generate-001',
5
  prompt: 'Woman sipping coffee by a rain-streaked window, cozy morning light.',
6
});

• Gateway Playground: Experiment with video models with no code in the configurable AI Gateway playground that's embedded in each model page. Compare providers, tweak prompts, and download results without writing code. To access, click any video gen model in the model list.

Describe a scene and get a video.

Generate a cinematic wildlife video with natural sound: here google/veo-3.1-generate-001 is used with generateAudio: true.

1
import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai';
2

3
const { videos } = await generateVideo({
4
  model: 'google/veo-3.1-generate-001',
5
  prompt:
6
   `Close-up of a great horned owl
7
    turning its head slowly in a moonlit forest.`,

  aspectRatio: '16:9',
9
  providerOptions: {
10
    vertex: { generateAudio: true },
11
  },
12
});

A common workflow to ensure quality is generating a custom image with Gemini 3 Pro Image (Nano Banana Pro), then bringing it to life with Veo, complete with motion and spoken dialog.

Starting image from Nano Banana Pro:

Use prompts with image input with the Veo models for more control over the output. This example uses google/veo-3.1-generate-001, which supports image to video.

import { experimental_generateVideo as generateVideo } from 'ai';

const { videos } = await generateVideo({
