Replacement for veo-3.0-generate-preview: what changes when you switch
The official replacement is gemini-omni-1.1-flash. veo-3.0-generate-preview shut down on 2025-11-12 per Google Gemini API's deprecation page (checked 2026-10-23). Price, context window, and max output were left blank because the official pages we checked did not publish them.
The Veo guide's samples call client.models.generate_videos and POST https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/{id}:predictLongRunning with a Veo model id. The same page says to migrate to gemini-omni-1.1-flash and says this feature is currently only available with the generateContent API. No generate_videos sample for gemini-omni-1.1-flash was on that page. The page does not print an error sentence.
Do not put gemini-omni-1.1-flash into generate_videos. The Veo guide says the replacement uses the generateContent API.
