> That 7 second video consumed just 1,841 tokens out of my 1,048,576 token limit. is this simply an approximation done by Gemini in order to add some artificial limit on the amount of video? Or do video frames actually equate directly to tokens somehow? I guess my question is, is there a real relationship between videos and tokens as we understand them (i.e. "hello" is a token) or are they just using the term "tokens" because it's easy for a user to understand, and an image is not literally handled the same way a token is?
