Google is building out its generative AI portfolio, with the launch of Nano Banana 2 Lite and expanded availability of Gemini Omni Flash.
Revealed in a blog post on June 30, the models are available now in Google AI Studio, the Gemini API and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and are designed for developers building applications that combine image generation, editing and video creation.
Nano Banana 2 Lite (technically named Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is Google’s updated entry-level image generation model, optimized for speed and infrastructure efficiency.
The vendor says it can generate a 1K-resolution image in about four seconds at a cost of $0.034 per 1,000 images, positioning it as the lowest-cost option in Google’s image model family.
The model is the successor to Google’s previous Nano Banana, with improvements to image quality, latency and operating cost.
The model is intended for high-volume workloads such as rapid prototyping, content ideation and automated visual generation.
Google also made Gemini Omni Flash available to developers for the first time through its enterprise platforms.
Omni Flash is designed for video generation and conversational editing, enabling developers to build applications that combine rapid image creation with iterative video workflows.
“With these two models, developers can build comprehensive, end-to-end multimedia experiences that connect rapid image generation with video creation and editing,” Google said in the blog post.
