Introducing agentic video understanding with Gemini

Google DeepMind launches agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite, cutting video-analysis tokens up to 88%.

Google DeepMind launched agentic video understanding across Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The feature replaces static fixed-FPS ingestion with an agentic loop that dynamically searches frames, audio, and transcripts, cutting token consumption by up to 88%, reducing costs by up to 66%, and improving accuracy by up to 7%. Gemini 3.7 Flash with the feature sits at the accuracy-to-cost Pareto frontier on tested video benchmarks, and the capability will later power YouTube's Ask YouTube feature.

Apple’s Ternus era begins as Nvidia bets on the whole AI stack

Apple's John Ternus becomes CEO as Tim Cook steps down; Nvidia expands across the AI stack while a16z launches a $1.1B Machine Age fund.

Tim Cook stepped down as Apple CEO, handing the company to former hardware chief John Ternus, with Cook staying as Executive Chairman focused on policy relationships. TechCrunch's Equity podcast also unpacks Nvidia's moves to own the entire AI stack, including its Hugging Face acquisition, a MediaTek investment, and deeper compute deals. Other items include robotaxi competition (Tesla Cybercab, Waymo expansion, Zoox paid rides), Andreessen Horowitz's new $1.1 billion 'Machine Age' fund, and the $285 million GoPro acquisition.

Bad Likert Judge: A Novel Multi-Turn Technique to Jailbreak LLMs by Misusing Their Evaluation Capability

Unit 42 details the Bad Likert Judge multi-turn jailbreak that abuses LLMs' evaluation capability, raising attack success rates over 60% across six frontier models.

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 describes the Bad Likert Judge technique, a multi-turn jailbreak that asks a target LLM to act as a Likert-scale judge scoring the harmfulness of example responses. The highest-rated example in each scale can carry harmful content, bypassing the model's internal guardrails. Testing across six state-of-the-art text-generation LLMs showed an average attack success rate increase of more than 60% versus plain attack prompts, with tested models anonymized. The technique targets edge cases rather than typical use, and the article positions the work as guidance for defenders on potential jailbreak risks.
