The killer app of Gemini Pro 1.5 is video
Summary: Google introduced Gemini Pro 1.5, a significant upgrade to their Gemini series of AI models, with a 1,000,000 token context size. The most exciting feature is its ability to use video as input. Users can upload videos and receive structured content extracted from the video, such as a JSON array of books on a bookshelf. The model breaks down videos into individual frames and processes each as an image. While it can miss or hallucinate details, its video analysis capabilities are impressive.
