Google gave Gemini a video tool that picks what to watch, and reports up to 88% fewer tokens
Agentic video understanding lets the model decide which segments of a video to open, at what frame rate, and whether to use frames, audio, or the transcript. Google launched it on September 1, 2026 for Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The company reports up to 88% lower token consumption, up to 66% lower cost, and up to 7% better accuracy on standard video analysis benchmarks. The price list does not move: standard token rates apply and there is no separate fee.
