My favorite AI feature is to put a YouTube link in Gemini and ask it to summarize. Or even better: put the link of a 20min video "5 ways to" and ask "what are the 5 ways?"

I think Gemini analyzes the transcription.

Can I do the same for free with Qwen3?

I don't believe that it just analyzes the transcription. I asked Gemini to look at the youtube video referenced on the site below and "build" something that duplicates that device. It did a pretty good approximation that it could not have done without going through the full video.

Same - I see a lot of "vaguely interesting but no way I'm spending 40 minutes on that" kind of videos, and it usually works. However, I have noticed it occasionally will just summarize the wrong video for me. It might be if the video is very new, or something? I'm not sure.
