I tested the three newest AI video models released in 2025: Veo 3.1, Sora 2 Pro, and Wan 2.5. Here's my complete breakdown of which model is best at what.
I test multiple categories including physics simulation, camera movement, emotional expression, dialogue, action scenes, stylistic range, and more.
Veo 3.1 just dropped with major upgrades. Sora 2 took over the app store. But Wan 2.5 has been flying under the radar despite having comparable capabilities in complex physics and audio generation.
After extensive testing, I break down exactly which model excels in different scenarios and which one you should use depending on your needs.
