Google Veo 3.1 Review

Google’s latest AI video generator, Veo 3.1, has been put through its paces in a recent review by AI Search, published on October 17, 2025. This evaluation explores the capabilities and limitations of Veo 3.1, comparing it with contemporaries like Sora 2 and Kling. With new features such as richer audio and video consistency, users can generate videos with increased narrative control and quality. However, the output remains limited to short 8-second clips, requiring an ‘extend’ feature for longer videos. While Veo 3.1 excels in maintaining character consistency and understanding multi-shot prompts, it struggles with complex physics and anatomy tasks, and its world understanding is questioned when put against Sora 2. The evaluation encourages users to leverage platforms like Google Flow and Higsfield, offering 100 free credits monthly to explore Veo 3.1’s features more effectively. While providing slight improvements over its predecessor, Veo 3.1 is still advised to be used alongside other video models for tasks it falters in. As AI continues to evolve, reviews such as this provide valuable insights for users seeking effective video generation tools.
