AIGoogle DeepMind's Koray Kavukcuoglu spoke with Logan Kilpatrick about the path to AGI and progress on 3.7 Flash, plus Google's focus on the frontier. He said he is excited by the pace of work across Google DeepMind and Google and looks forward to what comes next.

AIGemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite now support agentic video understanding. The feature is available today for video uploads and YouTube videos through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

AIGoogle's Gemini 3.7 Flash accurately counts every clap in a video by using a new agentic video understanding capability that automatically adapts its processing speed. Static video processing defaults to 1 FPS, which can miss split-second movements or confuse claps with snaps and clicks.

AIin which the model decides what to watch, at what speed, and through which modality. It fetches only the moments and signals it needs instead of ingesting media at a fixed frame rate. The post says this cuts costs by up to 66% and token consumption by up to 88% while boosting accuracy, and it is available now via the Gemini API and in AI Studio.

AIGoogle has released GNM v3.0, a parametric 3D statistical model of the human head, with weights published on Hugging Face and Kaggle under the Apache 2.0 license. The model gives controllable identity, expression, head pose, and internal anatomy including eyeballs, teeth, and tongue, and supports NumPy, JAX, PyTorch, and TensorFlow backends.

AIGoogle released agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite across the Interactions and GenerateContent APIs. The model dynamically navigates video timelines, requesting transcripts, frames, or audio tracks on demand. The source says this approach uses up to 88% fewer tokens for long-form content than static processing.

Why it matters: The changelog names the affected models and API surfaces, and states a token-use figure that helps developers judge the cost of long video workloads.

AIOpenClaw 2.0 (v2026.8.1) can be installed via npm and linked to Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash using a Gemini API key, with Google Search grounding enabled by default. The guide covers five CLI steps, from installation and authentication to starting the local gateway and Control UI. Gemini 3.8 Flash is described as up to 300 tokens per second and suited to coding and agent tasks.

AIJosh Woodward, who leads Google's Gemini app, praises the author letter included in the Expert Intelligence feature of Gemini Notebook. He calls it a nice touch and names it as one of his favorite parts of the feature.

AIGoogle's Gemini Notebook, launched yesterday, is pitched as a way to make buying books for AI context frictionless. The post by Josh Woodward responds to @shreyas, who said users increasingly buy books within Claude or ChatGPT to use as context and wants that process simplified in the UI.
