Unlike current ‘static’ processing, where the model ingests the video at a fixed frames-per-second rate (default 1 FPS, adjustable via API), agentic video understanding pairs the model’s core reasoning with native video tools to dynamically search, scan, and inspect target video segments across visual frames, audio, and transcripts. Across standard video analysis benchmarks, Gemini models […]
