Video foundation models for search, analysis and embeddings
Updated
TwelveLabs is a video understanding company that provides foundation models and APIs for working with video. Marengo is its video foundation model for search and retrieval, analyzing frames, temporal relationships, speech and sound. Pegasus is a video-first language model that combines visual, audio and speech information to generate text.
Developers upload videos and index them with Marengo, then call the Search API to find moments or the Analyze API to run Pegasus over video input for summaries or Q&A. The Embed API returns vectors for use in custom retrieval pipelines. The Free plan allows up to 10 hours of indexing, and Free indexes transfer on upgrade.
Developers and enterprises building video search, media archives, content moderation or analytics products use TwelveLabs through its APIs and cloud integrations.
The Free tier covers up to 10 hours of indexing with 600 minutes of upload and no credit card. Developer is pay-as-you-go: indexing at $2.50 per hour, Search at $4 per 1,000 queries, Analyze at $1.75 per hour of input video plus $7.50 per 1M output tokens, and Embed from $0.20 to $0.26 per 1M tokens. Enterprise is custom.
TwelveLabs is compared with Roboflow and V7 for vision model workflows, and with Ambient.ai and Standard AI for camera analytics. Unlike those, it focuses on video search and language models over video.
