Gemini Omni Flash vs Veo 3.1
Two Google video models. Gemini Omni Flash makes sound and speech with the picture, 3 to 10 seconds, at about half the price. Veo 3.1 is silent, 4 to 8 seconds, with steadier motion and finer detail. Below, the same two prompts on both, made on the Visuall canvas with nothing changed but the model.
