Google launched agentic video understanding for its Gemini Flash models, replacing fixed 1 FPS single-pass video ingestion with an internal loop that navigates the timeline and loads only needed segments. The company reports up to 88% fewer video tokens and up to 66% lower cost on standard benchmarks. Availability shifts to a hosted Gemini API feature (no open weights) with a single video processing field selecting agentic mode and billed via standard token pricing (with navigation counted as thought tokens).
