Gemini can now watch video the way an agent reads a document
Google's Gemini Flash models can now work through video selectively, choosing which moments, audio or transcript to inspect instead of reading every frame. Google says that cuts token use by up to 88% and cost by up to 66%.

- Ask for the cost per hour of video before you believe a demo.
