Agentic video understanding

Models navigate video timelines on demand, cutting token use

Capability change

Google DeepMind added agentic video understanding to Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite across the Interactions and GenerateContent APIs.

The model dynamically navigates video timelines, requesting transcripts, frames, or audio tracks on demand instead of processing every frame.
This approach uses up to 88% fewer tokens for long-form content compared to static processing, according to Google DeepMind.
The feature is available now through the Gemini API, with a guide to get started.
