PhilipHOST
In neither of the videos did the crane catch a fish.
PhilipHOST
Then there are rivals like Google DeepMind who've produced Veo, their most capable generative video model.
PhilipHOST
The only problem is it's not accessible to anyone hardly and definitely not me.
PhilipHOST
So that, if you will, is my initial review of Sora.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
The model scored 3.84 out of 5, ahead of Google DeepMind's VO3.1 at 347 and OpenAI's Sora 2 Pro at 3.27. Seedance led in visual consistency, physical realism, aesthetic quality, and compliance with instructions.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
It also remained ahead when audio performance was included, scoring 3.86 compared with 3.51 for Veo and 3.35 for Sora.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
The study found that Chinese AI video models have surpassed major US rivals in visual quality.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
However, Seedance ranked only 6th among 11 models for blocking harmful content.

Both are multimodal, more conversational, and have improved cross-app compatibility.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
Veo, which is clearly Google's competitor to OpenAI Sora, will be a very interesting point to watch in this AI race.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
But perhaps more importantly, Google showcased how they're intending to use AI across day-to-day products like Drive, Gmail, Meet, and more.
Dagogo AltraideHOST
Integrating AI natively into Google Suite products could potentially solidify market share,
Alicia LyttleGUEST
And they have Nano Banana that creates great graphics.
Alicia LyttleGUEST
And they have VEO3, which creates great video.
Alicia LyttleGUEST
They have study guides for it.
Alicia LyttleGUEST
So they've got a lot of good tools.
PhilipHOST
Honestly, there were enough announcements to make 10 to 12 separate videos, but for now I will just give you a sense of the breadth of what they released, or said they would soon release.
PhilipHOST
Not gonna lie, it was kind of tempting to make the entire video a Veo 3 montage, but no, it was much more than that.
PhilipHOST
Suffice to say, every other AI rival on the planet took a big gulp.
PhilipHOST
So from the useful to the entertaining, the impressive to the meh, here's the gist of the 12 most interesting, to me, dance moves.
PhilipHOST
Now I have to start, obviously, with Veo 3, because adding sound to video was such an obvious step, but the effect is remarkable.
speaker_4ADVERTISER
Generating videos with built-in dialogue really changes things, doesn't it?
PhilipHOST
Veo 2 was already incredible, but across 1,000 prompts, Veo 3 outperformed Veo 2 and the newly released Kling 2.0, and of course, OpenAI's Sora.
PhilipHOST
Over 80% of the time, people preferred Veo 3's output.
Varun MayyaHOST
Do not expect your teams to know what's in your head without references.
Varun MayyaHOST
So today you know this, right? You can go to Veo 3, you can give it one of these.
Varun MayyaHOST
Once you've done this, this work, you can put it in Veo 3, get the output, okay? Whatever it is, whatever shot it is, and then replicate that shot in real life.
Varun MayyaHOST
You guys know you can do that, right? So GPT fine, ge- sorry, Veo 3 fine could generate something that looks bad or not realistic, but you just need the camera angles and some reference, some idea you want it in your head.
Varun MayyaHOST
Now the idea's in your head, now you can execute in real life with cameras, right? In fact, you can now do this with Nano Banana.
Varun MayyaHOST
You can put in a script and be like, "Generate comic book panel references for each frame." And it does a fantastic job.
PhilipHOST
For others, a glimpse at a genuinely generalist AI.
PhilipHOST
Visually, it could be seen as the best that has ever come out of text-to-video, but for others, barely an improvement on Veo 3 from Google.
PhilipHOST
It's up to you, of course, but I will try to focus on six elements you might not have caught from the viral release video and announcement.
PhilipHOST
So is it all a distraction, though, from physical science breakthroughs like those promised by Periodic Labs, or the coding supremacy of Claude 4.5 Sonnet? Depends who you ask, but let's get started.
PhilipHOST
That's maybe also why it's only for the US and Canada initially, iOS only, freemium, but with limits that will actually decrease as new users join, with no API, though apparently that's promised in the coming weeks.
PhilipHOST
All of that is deliberate and part of the safety-focused iterative rollout strategy.
PhilipHOST
Then there's the inevitable comparisons, initially between Sora 1 and Sora 2, but I'm gonna throw in Veo 3 demos too for reference, made via Veo 3 preview on Gemini Online and Veo 3 quality with Google Flow.
PhilipHOST
Now, note that one of the leads for Sora 2 said that that model is intelligent in a way that we haven't seen with a video model before.
PhilipHOST
Here's one quirk many of you may not know about.
PhilipHOST
This is the brand-new Veo 3 from Google Gemini, and I said, "Output a London scene with absolutely zero lampposts, not a single lamppost in sight." Of course, if you lean in to the hallucinations of generative models, you can get creative outputs like this one from Veo 3.
speaker_4ADVERTISER
Dog and them.

Will egg prices go up this month?
PhilipHOST
The word of advice is that when you're looking at benchmarks, companies will often either not compare to other model providers at all, as in the case of OpenAI these days, or like Anthropic with their Claude series of models, they will show you multiple benchmarks but not be terribly clear about the multiple parallel attempts they took to get their record high scores or about the serious usage limitations they have for their bigger model or the massively elevated price for that model.
PhilipHOST
Which brings me to my current recommendation if you just want to use a model for free, albeit with caps, of course, and that would be Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro.
PhilipHOST
Yes, I am slightly influenced by its top score on Simple Bench and the fact you get a few uses of the Veo video generator model.
PhilipHOST
An honorary mention goes to DeepSeek-R1 which is very cheap via the API and at least comes with a technical report that we can all read through.
speaker_3HOST
So actually, what we're doing now is we're almost creating a physic, physics benchmark where we can use game engines, which are very accurate with physics, to create lots of f-fairly simple, like the sorts of things you would do in your physics A-level, uh, lab, uh, lessons, right? Like, you know, rolling little balls down different tracks and seeing how fast they go.
speaker_3HOST
And so, like, really teasing apart on a very basic, uh, level, like Newton, Newton's three laws of motion, h-has it encapsulated it, um, whether that's Veo or Genie, have these models encapsulated the physics of that a hundred percent accurately.
speaker_3HOST
And right now they're not, they're kind of approximations, and they look, um, realistic when you just casually look at them.
speaker_3HOST
At the moment, Google DeepMind are training separate models to better simulate and understand the physical world, like Genie-three.
speaker_3HOST
Now, yes, I do know that OpenAI just came out with GPT 5.1, and I have spent some time comparing those two models, but I still think NanoBanana Pro just edges it out for me.
speaker_3HOST
It's at least very close, but that's not even the point I wanted to make.
speaker_3HOST
Because Google can, of course, also turn an image into a video with their Veo 3.1 model, which many of you may have played about with, which means I'm almost losing track of the number of different systems that Google is working on for simulation.
speaker_3HOST
And Demis Hassabis revealed that they want to bring them all together.
speaker_3HOST
xAI are promising new features will come to Super Grok Heavy, like video generation, in October.
speaker_3HOST
But Gemini Ultra for a lower price already has Veo 3.
speaker_3HOST
Now, if your pockets are deep enough, you'll just subscribe to everything.
speaker_3HOST
But if this is your only maxed out subscription, it's hard to look past the much cheaper $20 Gemini Pro.
