Veo 3.1 Fast
by Google
Veo's look and native audio at less than half the price, with faster turnaround.
Veo 3.1 Fast is the speed-optimised variant of Google's Veo 3.1. It keeps native audio and the same 720p / 1080p tiers and clip lengths, trades a little fidelity for much quicker renders, and costs less than half of Veo 3.1 per second.
It is the practical default for Veo-style output: draft on Fast, and switch to Veo 3.1 only for the final hero clip if the extra polish is worth it.
