We are making it easier to experiment and scale ideas with the release of Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash. Nano Banana 2 Lite is our fastest and most cost-efficient image model designed for high throughput, speed, and scale. It is now available in Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, with rollout to Google consumer surfaces including AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app.
Gemini Omni Flash is our high-quality, cost-efficient model for video generation and conversational editing, now accessible to developers through Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. With these two models, developers can build comprehensive multimedia experiences that connect rapid image generation with video creation and editing.
Advantages of Nano Banana 2 Lite
- Latency: Delivers text-to-image outputs in 4 seconds, ideal for interactive prototyping and rapid visual drafting.
- Cost-efficiency: At $0.034 per 1K images, it’s a cost-effective choice for budget management and low-bandwidth use.
Nano Banana 2 Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image) is built for speed and optimized for near-real-time, high-volume workflows. In contrast, Nano Banana 2 (gemini-3.1-flash-image) serves as a generalist workhorse, offering the best balance of performance and cost.
Advantages of Gemini Omni Flash
- Conversational video editing: Refine and edit videos using natural language.
- Multimodal referencing: Combine inputs like images, text, and video to maintain control and consistency over scenes.
- Text and action synchronization: Connect text and graphics directly to video actions through simple prompting.
Practical Use Cases
We created demo apps showcasing how to combine Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash. For instance, the Anywhere app allows users to upload photos, quickly generating images using Nano Banana 2 Lite and transforming them into animated videos with Omni Flash.
Safety and Transparency
Both models are built on Google’s secure infrastructure and utilize SynthID watermarking for verifying AI content.
