The company is also making Veo 3.1 more powerful and smarter so that it can contextually understand your commands with less prompts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These changes will be available with a new update for the Veo 3 AI model which is rolling out this week and will be available to most paid subscribers gradually. But the most important switch can be related to Veo 3.1 able to generate TikTok-style or Reels vertical format videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Veo 3.1 Update For Users<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Video generation via AI tools are in big demand and Google is looking to advance its upgrades with the Veo AI model and the version 3.1 promises more changes and aligns to the market trends. OpenAI has Sora with similar focus in the market and Veo 3.1 is looking to get closer to its features that only paid users can access and really make use of. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Other features in Veo 3.1 are ingredients to video which allows you to add multiple images and club it with the text prompt to generate the relevant video. Google claims Veo 3.1 makes this process better and gives improved results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The prompt process is also getting better and you don\u2019t need to write elaborate instructions to make the AI model generate the right content. The characters of the subject and their details also get better consistency throughout the clip which has been lagging with the earlier Veo models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But like we said, the option to generate these videos in the 9:16 format means Reels and TikTok as well as Shorts become a viable platform to host these manipulated content. You can generate the videos in 4K quality (not just limited to 1080p anymore) and share them across platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Google is going to be busy with Apple\u2019s own AI strategy as the company is reportedly being paid $1 billion per year to develop the Gemini AI model that will power the new Siri and Apple AI features. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3151588361 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>January 14, 2026, 16:11 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3151588361 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Google Says Veo 3.1 AI Model Can Now Compete With TikTok-Style Vertical Videos<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
