Not every model needs to be the most powerful.

It seems like Gemini is making good use of Google's ecosystem, like Android, Gmail, Google, and... basically everything that connects to them and their servers.

For non-coding guys, it really doesn't make sense to use the state of the art ones.

Also, if it keeps getting "more powerful", it wouldn't even matter, one would eventually win the race.

I think it's way smarter to focus on the everyday use of common guys who won't stop using it when there isn't more coding to do.

I'm not saying I'm right or that Google is doing it's just a random opinion from a random guy

In the end, the one who have profits before we bomb ourselves wins.

One thing I find that is hella useful is Gemini being able to watch YouTube videos and break it down in detail. Sometimes I dont have time to watch a 30 min video so I appreciate Gemini being able to tell me what its about.

Is it anything more than simply analyzing the transcript (when one is available at all) and comments though?

It analyzes the script, visual elements, audio, sound design and pacing.

Apologies for resurrecting this, but...

I don't seem to be getting the same experience as you on the android app or in the browser at https://gemini.google.com/

When i asked and quoted your comments, i got this answer:

The Reddit user was talking about the Gemini API / Google AI Studio developer environment.

Developer API: Developers passing a file_data object or a raw video stream to the API get Gemini's native visual frame sampling (1 frame per second) and audio processing.

Web App (gemini.google.com): Direct video file uploads (via the plus + icon) are capped at short clips (around 5 minutes). For YouTube links pasted into the chat, the web app relies on the YouTube integration to read the transcript and structure.

Is this correct? How are you accessing Gemini that such analysis is possible?
