- R · What Makes It Special
- Nano Banana, also known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, the image generation and editing model Google launched on August 26, 2025: it keeps a character or product consistent across prompts and edits, blends several images into one, makes targeted changes from plain-language instructions and draws on Gemini's world knowledge. It launched at $30 per million output tokens, about $0.039 per image, and every image carries an invisible SynthID watermark. The stable API model shuts down March 15, 2027.
