Google AI Studio has launched agentic video understanding with Gemini. Instead of static processing, the model actively determines what to watch, at what speed, and through which modality (frames, audio, or transcript) based on goals.
- Performance: Boosts accuracy while significantly reducing resource usage.
- Efficiency: Cuts costs by up to 66% and reduces token consumption by up to 88%.
- Availability: The feature is now available via the Gemini API and in AI Studio.
