Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Auditing existing Veo 3.0 integrations
- Historical model research and migration planning
Choose another approach if
- New projects depending on the original Gemini API IDs
- Assuming today's Flow or Veo 3.1 features apply to original 3.0
Pricing and conditions
Current terms unconfirmed
No current purchasable exact-3.0 price is confirmed. The Cloud table retains Veo 3/3 Fast USD rows displayed per '1 count', while the model documentation records retirement; the physical billing unit was not established from that text. Those rows are not proof of service access. Historical rates, billing cycle, regions and tax totals remain unconfirmed; newer 3.1 API rates and consumer subscription fees are not substituted.
Pricing source read:
Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
These sources establish hosted-service documentation, not a self-hosting or model-weight license. Gemini API terms say Google does not claim ownership of original generated content, but outputs can be similar and the user remains responsible for lawful use. Those terms expressly exclude direct Google Cloud service use; review the applicable channel contract and input rights rather than assuming one family-wide commercial license.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.7 score is retained; its original scoring evidence is not recorded. No re-scoring or audio, physics, prompt-following, quality or cost benchmark was performed.
Overview
This entry covers the original Veo 3.0 generation, introduced in 2025, rather than the current Veo family. Google's original documentation describes text/image-to-video and sound generation, with distinct Standard and Fast IDs. Those documented capabilities do not establish comparative quality or current availability.
The Gemini API deprecation table lists June 30, 2026 as the shutdown date for veo-3.0-generate-001 and veo-3.0-fast-generate-001; Google's June 15 release note announced that shutdown. The Cloud model page separately records retirement of support on the same date. Current Flow, Gemini or Veo branding does not prove access to exact 3.0. Use this entry to audit old integrations and plan migration; evaluate a supported replacement's model ID, account, price and rights separately.

Pros / Cons
Pros
- Original model capabilities remain documented
- Exact API IDs and lifecycle dates support migration audits
Cons
- Original Gemini API endpoints have passed their listed shutdown date
- Cloud support retirement is documented
- Current family subscriptions and prices cannot establish exact 3.0 access
Who it's for
Identify old Veo 3.0 model IDs in an integration
Document the historical video-and-audio workflow
Plan replacement validation before restoring a pipeline
Bottom line
Treat original Veo 3.0 as a historical integration and migration entry. Confirm a currently supported model before starting new production.
