Review notes
Context from the listing review and editorial research.
NEW tool. Directory name is Google Veo (model family), not Google Flow. Current flagship is Veo 3.1; legacy Veo 2 / older Veo 3.0 endpoints were deprecated toward mid-2026 shutdowns. Third-party "Veo" wrappers are not official Google.
