All three Veo 3.1 previews shut down on the Gemini API on 2026-10-22.\n\n**Luma AI API.** Dollar prices per clip, $0.30 for 5 seconds at 720p, no credits to convert. Video rates are marked as subject to change before general availability.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Google Veo\n\n1. Move off `veo-3.1-*-preview` before 2026-10-22. Use `gemini-omni-1.1-flash` on the Gemini API or the GA Veo IDs on Vertex AI\n2. Call `predictLongRunning`, then poll the operation name about every 10 seconds until `done` is true. Jobs take 11 seconds to 6 minutes\n3. Download the video within 2 days. The server deletes it after that\n4. Set `durationSeconds` to 8 for 1080p, 4K or reference images. Shorter clips aren't supported there\n5. In the EU, UK, Switzerland and MENA image-to-video only accepts `personGeneration` set to `allow_adult`\n\n### Luma AI API\n\n1. Send model `ray-3.2` and type `video`, with resolution and duration inside `video`. Older model names are rejected\n2. Poll GET /v1/generations/{id} until completed or failed, then copy the presigned URL\n3. On 429, read `detail`. Rate limit exceeded means wait Retry-After, Too many concurrent jobs means wait for a job to finish\n4. Use keyframes with `keyframe_indexes` for 10 second clips. start_frame and end_frame only work at 5 seconds\n\n## Other comparisons with Google Veo or Luma AI API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Google Veo](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-google-veo.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-luma.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Kling AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-kling.md)\n- [Google Veo vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Google Veo vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pika.md)\n- [Google Veo vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-runway.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-vidu.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-luma.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pika.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-runway.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-vidu.md)\n",
