Veo 3.2 hasn't officially dropped yet. But all signs point to one thing: it's close.
I've gathered everything I could find—official updates, community leaks, benchmark platform discoveries. If you're following AI video generation, this should help you understand where things stand.
What Veo 3.1 Just Got
On January 13, Google pushed a solid update to Veo 3.1:
- Native 9:16 portrait support (finally useful for Shorts and Reels)
- Better reference image consistency—characters don't randomly change faces anymore
- 4K output
- Available across Gemini App, YouTube, Flow, AI Studio, and Vertex AI
Good update. But everyone's asking the same question: when's 3.2?
What's Been Leaked
Since late 2025, benchmark platforms like Artificial Analysis have spotted new model codenames: Sicily, Sisyphus, Artemis.
Artemis keeps coming up. Some users tested it for image-to-video and reported smoother motion, more realistic physics. In one 8-second test clip, a person turning their head looked natural, and a mask stayed consistent throughout.
Around January 18-19, several accounts on X confirmed seeing Veo 3.2 in backend services. They also mentioned integration with Google Workspace.
None of this is official. But it's coming from multiple sources.
When Will It Launch
No confirmed date. Based on Google's previous pace (Veo 3 to 3.1 was just a few months) and the current leak intensity, my guess:
- Late January most likely
- Early February possible
- Some speculation it'll ship alongside Gemini 3.5
Expected Improvements
Based on leaked tests and previous patterns, 3.2 might improve in these areas:
| Feature | 3.1 Status | 3.2 Expected |
|---|---|---|
| Motion consistency | Decent | Better |
| Physics simulation | Basic | More realistic |
| Creative control | Standard | Finer |
| Audio sync | Supported | Enhanced |
| Generation speed | Average | Faster |
This is speculation. Wait for official confirmation.
How to Access It
Once Veo 3.2 launches, you should be able to use it through:
- Gemini App (requires Advanced subscription)
- Vertex AI (enterprise users)
- YouTube Shorts via Dream Screen
- Google Vids (Workspace users)
Want to try something now? Use 3.1's new features. Portrait mode and 4K just landed.
Where to Watch
For first-hand updates:
- @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleAI on X
- Google Developers Blog
- Vertex AI Release Notes
Bottom Line
Veo 3.2 is probably coming this month. Leaks suggest noticeable improvements in motion and physics.
But leaks are leaks. Wait for the official word. Shouldn't be long now.
