Nice article. I saw someone depicting the future of web search with AI. The conclusion was not the bright future. Simply put, ads will never go away. Either AI providers will get paid for whitelisting ads, or even worse these AI will directly promote advertised products.
People could collectively decide to start paying for stuff and most of our gripes could at least switch to providers not accommodating their customers.
This seems like something that would be very expensive to run. Do you have some representative figures at a particular resolution and frame rate?
>Indexing 1 hour of footage costs ~$2.84 with Gemini's embedding API (default settings: 30s chunks, 5s overlap):
>1 hour = 3,600 seconds of video = 3,600 frames processed by the model. 3,600 frames × $0.00079 = ~$2.84/hr
>The Gemini API natively extracts and tokenizes exactly 1 frame per second from uploaded video, regardless of the file's actual frame rate. The preprocessing step (which downscales chunks to 480p at 5fps via ffmpeg) is a local/bandwidth optimization — it keeps payload sizes small so API requests are fast and don't timeout — but does not change the number of frames the API processes.
Multimodal AI will lead to an interesting arms race in ad detection vs ad insertion. I played around with AI ad removal with older Gemini models, but it seems like this would be even more powerful to instantly identify ads (and potentially mute or strip them out). https://notes.npilk.com/experiments-with-ai-adblock

Then again, let's not be too hasty here. Let's see what you're willing to offer. I can sell you the eyeballs of the AI ad-watcher running in my closet for $10/impression. Or, for $1000/impression, you can bring your message to the attention of myself, an actual human. A bargain at any price!
Does anyone know of an open weights models that can embed video? Would love to experiment locally with this.
A quick search brought up https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3-vl-embedding but I have no idea if it does what Gemini is doing here.

more or less works similarly, made a proof of concept for it: https://github.com/jakejimenez/sentinelsearch
