Google's Veo 3 video generator now includes a faster option, Veo 3 Fast, which more than doubles the speed of the previous model at 720p resolution, according to Google's Josh Woodward. The update is already available in both the Gemini app and Flow. For Gemini Pro users, the daily limit has increased to three new video generations—up from the earlier single ten-credit pack—while Flow Pro users are charged 20 credits per video. Gemini and Flow Ultra subscribers continue to receive higher quality and more generations on their existing plans. Google is testing additional features like picture-to-video with voice input. The company also plans to expand Veo 3 Fast to more countries and make it available for Workspace accounts.

OpenAI has lowered the price of its o3 language model by 80 percent, CEO Sam Altman said. The new cost is $2 per million input tokens and $8 per million output tokens. The move follows Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro pricing, which ranges from $1.25 to $2.50 for input and $10 to $15 for output, depending on token length. Until now, Gemini had been much cheaper than o3 at similar performance. Altman also introduced a higher-tier o3-pro model and said users would be "happy" with the pricing given its performance. OpenAI said that the stronger o3-pro model is launching today.
