Google releases new AI video model Veo 3.1 in Flow and API: what it means for enterprises
Google has unveiled Veo 3.1, its latest AI video generation model, bringing a suite of creative and technical upgrades aimed at improving narrative control, audio integration, and realism in AI-generated video. Veo 3.1 builds on its predecessor, Veo 3, with enhanced support for dialogue, ambient sound, and other audio effects. Native audio generation is now available across several key features in Flow, including “Frames to Video,” “Ingredients to Video,” and “Extend,” which provide users with the ability to turn still images into video, use items, characters, and objects from multiple images in a single video, and generate longer clips than the initial 8 seconds, to more than 30 seconds or even 1+ minutes when continuing from a prior clip's final frame.
This addition gives users greater command over tone, emotion, and storytelling, which have previously required post-production work. In enterprise contexts, this level of control may reduce the need for separate audio pipelines, offering an integrated way to create training content, marketing videos, or digital experiences with synchronized sound and visuals. Veo 3.1 is accessible through several of Google’s existing AI services, including Flow, Google’s own interface for AI-assisted filmmaking, Gemini API, targeted at developers building video capabilities into applications, and Vertex AI, where enterprise integration will soon support Veo’s “Scene Extension” and other key features.
The model outputs video at 720p or 1080p resolution, with a 24 fps frame rate. Pricing remains the same as Veo 3, with a standard model costing $0.40 per second of video and a fast model at $0.15 per second. Veo 3.1 introduces support for multiple input types and more granular control over generated outputs, including text prompts, images, and video clips, as well as reference images to guide appearance and style in the final output, first and last frame interpolation to generate seamless scenes between fixed endpoints, and scene extension to continue a video’s action or motion beyond its current duration. These tools aim to give enterprise users a way to fine-tune the look and feel of their content for brand consistency or adherence to creative briefs.
Initial reactions to Veo 3.1’s launch are mixed, with some users noting improvements in audio quality, particularly in sound effects and dialogue, while others raise concerns about limitations that remain in the system. These include the lack of custom voice support, an inability to select generated voices directly, and the continued cap at 8-second generations. However, the early user feedback highlights that while Veo 3.1 offers valuable tooling, expectations around realism, voice control, and generation length are evolving rapidly.
Anthropic is giving away its powerful Claude Haiku 4.5 AI for free to take on OpenAI
Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 4.5, a smaller and significantly cheaper artificial intelligence model that matches the coding capabilities of systems that were considered cutting-edge just months ago. This model is priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, roughly one-third the price of Anthropic’s mid-sized Sonnet 4 model released in May. In certain tasks, particularly operating computers autonomously, Haiku 4.5 actually surpasses its more expensive predecessor.
Anthropic is making Haiku 4.5 available for all free users of its Claude.ai platform, effectively democratizing access to near-frontier-level intelligence. This move could reshape competitive dynamics in the AI market. Haiku 4.5 offers significant advantages to enterprise customers, enabling multi-agent systems that tackle complex refactors, migrations, and large feature builds with speed and quality. The company now serves more than 300,000 business customers, with enterprise products accounting for approximately 80% of revenue. Internal projections suggest the company is targeting between $20 billion and $26 billion in annualized revenue for 2026, representing growth of more than 200% to nearly 300%.
Anthropic’s launch comes amid heightened scrutiny of the company’s approach to AI safety and regulation. Anthropic addressed such concerns head-on, emphasizing that Haiku 4.5 underwent extensive safety testing. The company classified the model as ASL-2 — its AI Safety Level 2 standard — compared to the more restrictive ASL-3 designation for the more powerful Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.1 models. Anthropic’s safety testing showed Haiku 4.5 poses only limited risks regarding the production of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. The company has also implemented classifiers designed to detect and filter prompt injection attacks.
Dfinity launches Caffeine, an AI platform that builds production apps from natural language prompts
Dfinity has released Caffeine, an artificial intelligence platform that allows users to build and deploy web applications through natural language conversation alone, bypassing traditional coding entirely. The system builds applications on a specialized decentralized infrastructure designed specifically for autonomous AI development. Unlike GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or other "vibe coding" tools that help human developers write code faster, Caffeine positions itself as a complete replacement for technical teams. Users describe what they want in plain language, and an ensemble of AI models writes, deploys, and continually updates production-grade applications.
Caffeine's most significant technical claim addresses a problem that has plagued AI-generated code: data loss during application updates. The platform builds applications using Motoko, a programming language developed by Dfinity specifically for AI use, which provides mathematical guarantees that upgrades cannot accidentally delete user data. The system also employs what Dfinity calls "loss-safe data migration." When AI needs to modify an application's data structure, it must write migration logic in two passes, and the framework automatically verifies that the transformation won't result in data loss.
The platform has attracted significant early interest, with more than 15,000 alpha users testing Caffeine before its public release. The foundation reports some users spending entire days building applications on the platform. Dfinity envisions a future where the web literally programs itself through natural language interaction, creating a "self-writing internet" where AI selects optimal implementations invisible to users.
