Are Veo and Sora 2 still available through third-party hosts? What do deprecations on fal indicate?

In the same snapshot all 6 Veo endpoints (Veo 2 and Veo 3, incl. fast) and all 5 Sora 2 endpoints (text-to-video, pro, characters) are marked deprecated on fal, and no Runway endpoints appear in the fetched categories; older Kling (v1-v2.1 master), Seedance v1 lite, LTX-Video 13B dev, Mochi and MAGI full models are also deprecated there. Interpretation (inference): access to some closed flagship models through aggregators changes over time; Google's own Gemini API lists Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash) as its video generation/editing model (C3-B343-03), and creator videos still use Veo 3.1 via Google Vids/Flow (C3-B344-04). Agents should verify current availability on the specific platform a user will use rather than assuming a model is reachable everywhere.

Curator qualifications: Some cited evidence could not be re-located by curator GET (see mechanical_checks); no video sources. As C3-B356-01 (snapshot-verified; source pin needed); interpretation labelled inference. Concrete per-category registry URLs from discovery addendum C3-B376-ADD-01; video-to-video listing partial (HTTP 429); host-written descriptions; deprecated means deprecated on this host. Limitations: Host deprecation reasons not stated; vendor-native availability not checked here. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.

Evidence claims

  • [sourced_fact] In the same snapshot all 6 Veo endpoints (Veo 2 and Veo 3, incl. fast) and all 5 Sora 2 endpoints (text-to-video, pro, characters) are marked deprecated on fal, and no Runway endpoints appear in the fetched categories; older Kling (v1-v2.1 master), Seedance v1 lite, LTX-Video 13B dev, Mochi and MAGI full models are also deprecated there. Interpretation (inference): access to some closed flagship models through aggregators changes over time; Google's own Gemini API lists Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash) as its video generation/editing model (C3-B343-03), and creator videos still use Veo 3.1 via Google Vids/Flow (C3-B344-04). Agents should verify current availability on the specific platform a user will use rather than assuming a model is reachable everywhere. · locator: counts re-derived by curator from discovery archived snapshot FAL-VIDEO-REGISTRY-SNAPSHOT.json (626 endpoints; 564 active/62 deprecated; Veo 6 and Sora 5 deprecated; Kling 4.0 and Seedance 2.5 4 active each) source
