Google announces agentic video understanding for Gemini API
Google says agentic video understanding is available through its Gemini API for three Flash models and can be enabled with an "agentic" processing setting. Google reports lower token use and costs and higher accuracy, and names LongVideoBench for one comparison, but does not provide the full benchmark methodology or conditions. It also says a Gemini app rollout will reach all users on Flash and Flash-Lite models soon, without a date or regional scope. [1]
