Pegasus 1.5 transforms raw video into consistent, structured, timestamped data on-the-fly. Video becomes a queryable and computable asset, based on your company’s custom requirements. Define a schema of what matters in your domain, point it at any video up to 2 hours, and get back structured, time based metadata in a single API call. And, it’s multimodal – pass in an image, and find anytime this reference appears in your video. Your video library, finally queryable for humans and agents.

Could you build this?
No Building a frontier video-to-text foundation model capable of dense temporal reasoning and structured metadata generation across hours of video requires massive video dataset curation, video-specific ML architectures, and millions of dollars in compute.
What it would actually take: Requires training a custom multimodal architecture (spatio-temporal video encoder fused with a long-context LLM decoder) on petabytes of temporally annotated video. Needs distributed GPU cluster infrastructure, custom frame-sampling/chunking pipelines to handle 2-hour videos, and deep video-language representation learning expertise.
