Today, we’re launching agentic video understanding across our latest models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite. This new capability improves accuracy while dramatically reducing token usage and costs for video analysis. 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...

AI is getting closer to being able to exploit OT, and that's very bad news for critical infrastructure

* Forescout researchers showed AI can port RCE exploits to PLCs, achieving DoS and shellcode execution * Effort required heavy researcher input and $500+ in API usage, making attacks impractical for criminals * Nation‑state actors remain a concern, as seen in Sandworm’s 2025 attack on Poland’s power grid If you

MapQuest is now the No. 1 U.S. app after bucking Trump’s ‘Lake America’ renaming
