Kevin’s take
“Veo 3 is Google's video model, and it's about as good as AI video gets right now — realistic motion, real sound, the lot. The good news is Google's made it free to try through its own apps, with limits. If you've got a Google account, you can have a go without paying. The results can be startling.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support
