Key points

  • Today, we’re launching agentic video understanding across our latest models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite.
  • Similar to agentic vision, which combines code execution with Gemini models’ native image understanding, agentic video understanding uses Gemini’s native video tools to improve performance and unlock new capabilities for video processing like sub-second moment retrieval, more accurate anomaly detection, precise counting and more.
  • The feature is available today for video uploads and YouTube videos via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
  • Activating agentic video understanding drops token consumption by up to 88% and boosts accuracy by up to 7% with Gemini 3.7 Flash.
