Start building with Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash

Scale your ideas with Nano Banana 2 Lite, our fastest, most cost-efficient Gemini Image model, and Gemini Omni Flash for high-quality video and conversational editing.

Condensed by AI-Portable from Editorial queue.

We’re making it easier to experiment and scale your ideas with Nano Banana 2 Lite, our fastest, most cost-efficient Gemini Image model, and Gemini Omni Flash for high-quality video generation and conversational editing.

Today, we’re making it faster and easier to experiment, refine and scale your ideas with two major releases:

Introducing Nano Banana 2 Lite: Our fastest, most cost-efficient image model in the Nano Banana family yet, built for high throughput, speed and scale. Nano Banana 2 Lite is available today in Google AI Studio , Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform . It is also rolling out today in Google consumer surfaces including AI Mode in Search, Gemini app and many other products .

Bringing Gemini Omni Flash to developers: Our high quality, cost-efficient model for video generation and conversational editing, now available in Google AI Studio , the Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform for the first time. Omni Flash is also available in the Gemini app and Google Flow .

Building with generative media is often about creative iteration. With these two models, developers can build comprehensive, end-to-end multimedia experiences that connect rapid image generation with video creation and editing. Whether your workflow requires generating thousands of images or editing multi-turn video sequences, you now have two new models to build faster, iterate seamlessly and bring your creative vision to life.

Watch a side-by-side comparison of image generation speed and quality between Nano Banana 2 Lite and Nano Banana 2 using a simple prompt.

Nano Banana 2 Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image) is designed for rapid ideation and high-velocity developer pipelines where speed and cost are the primary constraints. It’s our recommended replacement for developers currently using our first version of Nano Banana (gemini-2.5-flash-image), you can swap it out now for immediate benefits across key performance dimensions.
