Veo 3

Google's Veo 3 closes the gap with Sora on visual quality and pulls ahead on one huge feature: native audio. It generates speech, sound effects, and ambient sound that line up with the action, which no rival does as convincingly.

It handles realistic physics and prompt adherence very well and is available through Gemini and Google's Flow tool. Access is gated behind higher-tier plans, and generation can be slow at peak times.
