NanoBanana 2 Brings Pro-Quality Images at Flash Speed (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Google just dropped NanoBanana 2, and it's a big deal. This is their latest image generation model, officially called Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, and it basically takes everything people loved about NanoBanana Pro and makes it faster. A lot faster. For a bit of backstory, NanoBanana launched back in August of last year, and it went completely viral. It changed how people thought about AI image generation and AI image editing. Then, in November, Google released NanoBanana Pro, which brought studio-quality creative control and advanced intelligence. The problem? It was powerful, but it was very slow. That's when NanoBanana 2 comes in. It combines advanced world knowledge and the quality of NanoBanana Pro with the lightning-fast speed of Gemini Flash. So you're no longer choosing between quality or speed. You get both. And so let me walk you through the key improvements. First, world knowledge. NanoBanana 2 pulls from Gemini's real-world knowledge base and is powered by real-time information and images from web search. That means it can more accurately render specific subjects. And this isn't just about photos. You can now create infographics, turn notes into diagrams, and generate data visualizations, all grounded in actual knowledge. Second is improved text rendering and translation. NanoBanana Pro solved this, and NanoBanana 2 is improving on it, allowing you to generate more accurate legible text inside of images for marketing mock-ups, greeting cards, signage, you name it. And you can even then localize this text within images, which is huge for creating content to reach a wider audience. Third is subject consistency. This is one of the most impressive upgrades. You can now maintain character resemblance for up to five characters and keep fidelity across 14 objects in a single workflow. That means you can storyboard entire narratives without your characters changing appearance between frames and losing objects. Fourth is instruction following. NanoBanana 2 is significantly better at following complex prompts. The model sticks more closely to your specific requests, capturing nuances of what you actually asked for. Fifth, production-ready specs. You now have full control over aspect ratios and resolutions, from 512 pixels all the way up to 4K. Whether you're making vertical social posts or a widescreen backdrop, your visuals stay crisp and sharp any format you choose. And number six is visual fidelity. Even at flash speed, NanoBanana 2 delivers a vibrant lighting, richer textures, and sharper details compared to the original NanoBanana, and the quality gap between the fast model and the pro model has dramatically closed. This means that you can get the quality from NanoBanana Pro at the speed of NanoBanana, giving you NanoBanana 2 generations. And if you want to try NanoBanana 2, you can click the first link in the description down below and try it inside of Eleven Labs, head to image and video, select NanoBanana 2 from the model picker, and generate anything you like. And so to sum it up, NanoBanana 2 gives you pro-level intelligence and quality at flash speed, better texture rendering, subject consistency for up to five characters and 14 objects, 4K resolution support, better instruction following, and it's available right now inside of Eleven Labs.
