Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.
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.
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.
