Google unveiled Veo, an AI generator, image creator, and music-making toolbox, at Google I/O in May.The video generator can transform text prompts into 1080p videos longer than 60 seconds.”The creative potential for generative AI is immense, and we can’t wait to see how people around the world will bring their ideas to life with our new models and tools,” Google said in May when it announced the tool.Back in May Google made the tool available to “select creators in private preview,” now, after some updates and a name change over the past few months, it’s making the tool available to everyone through its ImageFX platform, VentureBeat reports.Now called Imagen 3, Google describes the tool as ” a latent diffusion model that generates high-quality images from text prompts.” According to the company, “Imagen 3 is preferred over other state-of-the-art models at the time of evaluation.”Users of the tool have remarked that the tool has improved word recognition and texture over previous models; however, some users have expressed frustration over the tool’s censors.

The tool is designed to block users from creating some videos as part of Google’s focus on responsible AI creation; however, a number of users have reported that their prompts, which shouldn’t be considered problematic, are also being blocked.In contrast, xAI also launched Grok-2 this week. The feature is available exclusively through Xs Premium subscription tiers and offers image generation with relatively no restrictions.
