Veo 3 understands material properties, including buoyancy, reflections, flammability, and soft body physics.
Veo 3 can understand which objects fit in a backpack, and can categorize objects (putting all the toys in a bucket). Veo 3 can also draw, and understands the effects of gravity and air resistance on falling objects.
Veo 3 can reason, filling in the next element in a sequence of images.
🔥Veo 3 has emergent zero-shot learning and reasoning capabilities!
This multitalented model can do a huge range of interesting tasks.
It understands physical properties, can manipulate objects, and can even reason.

Are we experiencing a 'GPT moment' in vision?
In our new preprint, we show that generative video models can solve a wide range of tasks across the entire vision stack without being explicitly trained for it.
