```

## Positioning

Google Veo 3 Fast is a 720p video generation model optimized for balanced speed and cost. Developers should reach for it when building high-volume workflows, testing visual concepts, or generating social media drafts that do not require audio.

## About

Veo 3 Fast generates 720p video from text or image prompts. It operates without audio output and sits at the balanced cost and speed tier within the Veo family. The endpoint accepts text and image inputs and returns video files, making it suitable for iterative visual development.

On Kyma, requests route through an OpenAI-compatible base URL using a single API key. The platform applies automatic failover if a serving path degrades, and responses include the exact generation cost in the usage.cost field. Prompt prefixes are cached automatically, billing repeated inputs at 10% of the standard rate.

The model does not support reasoning, vision understanding, or structured outputs. It is strictly a generation endpoint. Output length is billed per second, and the model is intended for draft-quality or standard-resolution needs rather than final broadcast assets.

## Use cases

- **Social Media Drafts** — Generate quick 720p clips for testing visual concepts before final production.
- **High-Volume Iteration** — Run rapid prompt variations to explore visual directions without high latency.
- **Storyboard Visualization** — Convert image references or text prompts into short video sequences for planning.
- **Automated Content Pipelines** — Integrate into batch workflows where cost efficiency and medium speed are prioritized.

## Not ideal for

Do not use this model for final broadcast assets, projects requiring synchronized audio, or workflows demanding 1080p resolution.

## Pick something else when

- You need synchronized audio in the output → `veo-3`
- You require 1080p resolution → `hailuo-02-1080p`
- You need faster generation for real-time previews → `seedance-2-fast`
- You need higher fidelity for final production → `kling-3-pro`
