Veo 4 release date: what Google's Veo pages list today

There is no Veo 4 release date on the pages read on 2026-09-29. Google's Gemini API Veo page describes Veo 3.1, and its model list ends at Veo 3.1 Lite Preview, updated March 2026. Google's video overview tells developers to use Gemini Omni Flash as the default and Veo 3.1 for specific capabilities.

That is an absence on two pages, not a statement that Veo 4 will not ship. Check Google's Veo page for changes before you plan around a date.

Which Veo models does Google list now?

The Veo page lists three 3.1 preview models and two deprecated Veo 3 models.

What does Google recommend instead?

Its video page says to use Gemini Omni Flash as the default video model, and Veo 3.1 when scene extension, last-frame control or legacy pipelines are required. If you are waiting for Veo 4 to start a project, that page suggests Omni is where Google points new work.

What can I call on Sume today?

Sume does not list a Veo model. Its video catalog includes gemini-omni-flash-1.1, which the Video generation docs describe as 3 to 10 seconds at 360p, 720p, 1080p or 4K with native synced audio.

The catalog changes; GET /v1/videos/models is the current list.

How will I know when Veo 4 appears?

A new Veo generation would show up as a new model code on Google's Veo page, with its own row and update date like the ones above. Until then, a dated claim from anywhere else is not backed by these pages.

Why do release dates for Veo 4 appear elsewhere?

Search results for a model that has not been announced tend to be guesses, leaks or renamed pages. None of them can be checked against the vendor. The two Google pages read here give a firm, dated picture: three 3.1 previews, two deprecated Veo 3 models, and a recommendation to start with Omni.

A useful habit is to compare the model code and the update date rather than the headline. If a page names veo-4 with a code and a date, it is a claim you can test against Google's own list. If it names neither, it is not one.

Does Veo 3.1 Lite change the picture?

It shows that Google was still adding to the 3.1 family in March 2026, the latest update date on the page. A Lite preview is a sign of a family being extended, not of a successor being announced, but that is an inference, not something Google states.
