Google releases Nano Banana 2 Lite, its fastest and cheapest AI image generator yet
Google has released Nano Banana 2 Lite, the fastest and cheapest model in its Nano Banana image generation family. It produces images in four seconds at under four cents per thousand images, targeting developers who need high-velocity, low-cost image generation. Available immediately in Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, it replaces the original Nano Banana (now labeled legacy). Alongside this, Google is broadly releasing Gemini Omni Flash, its video-generation model, to developers via the Gemini API at ten cents per second of output, capped at ten seconds per clip. Google positions the two models as a pipeline: generate images quickly with Nano Banana 2 Lite, then animate them with Omni Flash. The releases come amid broader debate over AI-generated content quality and Google's $75M partnership with A24 for AI filmmaking tools.
