Today, we’re launching Agentic Video Understanding in Gemini across 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite. 📉 ~88% fewer tokens 💰 ~66% lower cost 📈 ~7% higher accuracy The result: a new Pareto frontier for video understanding across accuracy and cost. Traditional video understanding processes video statically at a... fixed sampling rate. With Agentic Video Understanding, Gemini can actively decide what to watch, at what speed, and which signals to use (frames, audio, or transcripts) by using native video tools. This enables split-second retrieval, rapid-motion understanding, and needle-in-a-haystack search across hours of video. Available now via the Gemini API - and coming soon to billions of users through the Gemini App and YouTube’s “Ask YouTube” experience. Learn more (details, demos, and docs): PMing this 0→1 has been a career highlight. Taking it from an idea and helping shape it into a frontier-defining capability we’re now shipping broadly has been incredibly rewarding. Huge thanks to Mario Lucic , Sergi Caelles Ahmet Iscen , Filip Pavetić, Suhas Yogin , JB Alayrac, Ben Caine, Nicole Brichtova, Bibo Xu , Tulsee Doshi, David Thacker, koray kavukcuoglu and the multimodal team at Google DeepMind.show more

Tired of high token costs for video workflows? Agentic video understanding gives Gemini the tools to dynamically search, scan, and inspect target video segments to achieve its goal. Building on agentic vision, Gemini now actively scans visual frames, audio, and transcripts instead of ingesting video at a static 1 FPS. This reduces token consumption by up to 88%, improves accuracy, and unlocks new ways to process long-form video. Tackle complex video workflows like: ▸ Sub-second retrieval: Catch split-second cuts missed at 1 FPS ▸ Long-form search: Query multi-hour videos without overflowing context ▸ Anomaly detection: Resample interesting windows at higher FPS ▸ Counting: Accurately track repeated actions and objects over time See how agentic video understanding transforms token efficiency in Gemini 3.7 Flash when compared with static video processing:

Gemini 3.5 Flash is a step forward for Google on speed and agentic capabilities but comes at a trade-off of being higher cost than prior models We have measured up to ~280 output tokens/sec, placing it on the speed/intelligence Pareto frontier and well ahead of Gemini 3 Flash. It also shows a major uplift on agentic tasks, reaching ~1650 ELO on GDPVal-AA. The trade-off: cost is up ~5x versus Gemini 3 Flash, driven by higher token prices (3x higher than Gemini 3 Flash) and higher token usage. In this video, Declan Jackson, Member of Technical Staff at Artificial Analysis, breaks it down.

AI has transformed how video is created. We think the next wave is about understanding it. Over the past few years, we've seen remarkable advances in video generation, editing, avatars, and creative tooling. An increasingly important problem is teaching machines to search, analyze, reason over, and extract insight from video - across massive libraries and live streams alike. We're calling this video intelligence, and we're actively looking to back founders building here. We're most excited about companies pushing on the core capabilities: - Video-native models - multimodal embeddings, temporal reasoning, and retrieval built specifically for video rather than adapted from image or text - Real-time and large-scale pipelines - infrastructure for processing, indexing, and querying video at the speed and scale enterprises actually need - Agentic and reasoning layers - systems that don't just retrieve clips but answer questions, surface anomalies, and take action on what they see The models and infrastructure to make this real are appearing to be crossing a capability threshold right now. Multimodal foundation models are maturing, storage costs have collapsed, and enterprises are sitting on years of unstructured video with no way to use it. That infrastructure unlocks a wide range of applications including media and sports workflows, security and physical operations, enterprise knowledge management, advertising analytics, robotics, and consumer products, where video has historically been dark data. If you're building in video intelligence at the model layer, the platform layer, or in a vertical application, we'd love to talk!

Gemini-1.5 Pro has its spotlight stolen today, and people are poking fun at Sora vs Google memes. Well, I think it's the biggest boost in LLM capability so far in 2024. v1.5's 10M token context (1) excels at retrieval; (2) generalizes zero-shot to extremely long instructions like full tutorials and codebases; and (3) works across modalities such as text, audio, and video. Here's a stunning example: v1.5 learns to translate from English to Kalamang purely in context, following a full linguistic manual at inference time. Kalamang is a language spoken by fewer than 200 speakers in western New Guinea. Gemini has never seen this language during training and is only provided with 500 pages of linguistic documentation, a dictionary, and ~400 parallel sentences in context. It basically acquires a sophisticated new skill in the neural activations, instead of gradient finetuning. I talked about the Myth of Context Length many times before: don't get too excited by claims of 1M or even 1B context tokens. LSTMs already achieved literally infinite context length 25 yrs ago! What truly matters is how well the model actually uses the context to solve real-world problems, and Gemini-1.5 has surpassed the SOTA with flying colors. The paper is also well-written with lots of solid quantitative analysis on in-context memorization and generalization. Paper: “Gemini 1.5: Unlocking multimodal understanding across millions of tokens of context” Congrats to Jeff Dean Oriol Vinyals Sundar Pichai and team!

Got the vibe but not the words? Starting today, you can simply show or tell AI Mode about what you're looking for and get rich, visual results to explore. ✨ This experience works by bringing together Search’s world-class visual understanding from Lens and Image search with Gemini 2.5’s advanced multimodal capabilities. When you show AI Mode what you’re searching for it uses our new “visual search fan-out” technique to get a deeper understanding of what’s in an image (including subtle details and secondary objects), and runs multiple queries in the background. This helps it understand the visual context and nuance of your request to deliver relevant visual responses. You can also tell AI Mode what vibe you’re going for (no image needed). For example, ask AI Mode for bedroom design inspo and go back and forth to refine your vision. We’re rolling out this experience in English in the U.S. starting this week. Try it out and let us know what you think!

I usually skip benchmark comparisons. They're almost always picked to flatter. But EgoSchema is different. It measures first-person, egocentric video understanding. The AI equivalent of “look through the robot's eyes and tell me what happened.” I spent some time testing Perceptron Mk1 (“Mark One”) on the robotics workflows Perceptron walked me through, and the EgoSchema result suddenly made a lot more sense. Perceptron Mk1 scored 80.60% on it. Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite scored 62.4%. That's a completely different level of understanding. Most frontier models were trained on the internet through text, images, and static content. The physical world works differently. Context lives across time. The critical moment rarely exists in a single frame. And that's exactly where production deployments start mattering. Manufacturing QC. Robotics data pipelines. Security footage. Everything is temporal. Native video reasoning. Temporal grounding. Structured output. Perceptron calls it “Mk1” because it marks the beginning of their closed-model series for physical-world intelligence, and honestly, the name fits. It feels engineered for deployment, not just demos. Feels like one of the first video AI systems being built around how the physical world actually behaves instead of adapting static-image intelligence into video later.

"The future of AI is agentic. That includes browsers!" Imagine having an AI agent in your browser that can help you complete complex tasks, answer your questions, and streamline your workflow. Today I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek at Project Mariner, a cutting-edge research collaboration between Chrome and Google DeepMind, exploring the future of agentic AI within the browser! Building on the power of Gemini 2.0, Mariner envisions AI agents seamlessly guiding users through online tasks, streamlining workflows and enriching browsing experiences. Imagine having an intelligent co-pilot in your browser, anticipating your needs and proactively offering assistance. We're in the early stages of experimentation, focusing on core functionalities like understanding user intent, automating actions, and providing personalized recommendations. This prototype leverages Gemini's advanced natural language understanding and reasoning capabilities to interpret user requests, both typed and spoken. Mariner can then interact with web pages, retrieve information, and even perform actions like filling out forms or navigating to specific sites. For example, a user could simply ask "Find me a job near me," and Mariner would understand the request, navigate to a relevant job search site, and tailor the search based on the user's location and preferences. This is just one example of how we're exploring Gemini 2.0's potential to unlock agentic experiences through a series of prototypes, including: 1. Agents with multimodal reasoning: Project Astra, our research prototype exploring the capabilities of a universal AI assistant, is enhanced by Gemini 2.0. 2. Agents that can help you accomplish complex tasks: Project Mariner itself focuses on the future of human-agent interaction within the browser. 3. Agents for developers: Jules is an experimental AI-powered coding agent that integrates directly into a GitHub workflow. 4. Agents applied across domains: We're exploring agents for navigating video games and even applying Gemini 2.0's spatial reasoning to robotics. We believe that integrating AI agents directly into the browser has the potential to revolutionize how we interact with the web. Project Mariner aims to make browsing more intuitive, efficient, and personalized. By understanding user context and proactively offering assistance, Mariner can simplify complex tasks, save users time, and empower them to achieve more online. This aligns perfectly with the vision of Gemini 2.0 to create more helpful and intuitive AI experiences. We’re currently testing Mariner with a small group of trusted users to gather feedback and refine the user experience. We believe that this technology holds immense potential to transform the way we browse and interact with information online.

Most robotics AI models suffer from the "stop-and-think" problem. They take a static picture, pause to reason, execute an action, and repeat. In the real world, that latency causes spills, collisions, and failed tasks. Google DeepMind just launched Gemini Robotics ER 2: an embodied reasoning model that thinks and acts at the speed of the physical world. Here's why this is a step-change for physical AI engineering: Traditional robotics models rely on static snapshots. But knowing *when* a task is done, such as when to stop pouring coffee into a cup or when a trash bag is securely tied, requires continuous temporal awareness. Gemini Robotics ER 2 integrates directly with the bidirectional streaming Gemini Live API to reason about what comes next while simultaneously executing motor actions. What makes Gemini Robotics ER 2 different: 🎯 91.3% accuracy on live video moment-finding (0.96s mean absolute distance) at 4x the execution speed of frontier models 📈 Continuous progress tracking across 5 completion stages (57.4% accuracy) to self-correct mid-task without restarting 🛠️ Native agentic tool orchestration that commands lower-level VLA models, navigation APIs, and Google Search 🤝 Multi-robot collaboration allowing physically diverse machines (like Apptronik's Apollo 2 humanoid and Franka's FR3 Duo arm) to hand off tasks in shared spaces 🛡️ Built-in physical safety that autonomously halts robots when humans enter a workspace and resumes once clear
