  • google/nano-banana-2: [Core Function] Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) is an extremely fast text-to-image model. [Strengths] It is optimized for high-speed, high-volume visual generation, creative prompting, and rapid stylistic experimentation. [Best For] Highly recommended for: rapid creative iteration, generating large batches of images quickly, and artistic/stylized graphics. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you require strict, high-end photorealism (use the Imagen 4 series instead). [Routing] Route to this model for ‘fast’, ‘creative’, or ‘stylized’ high-volume requests.
  • google/nano-banana-pro: [Core Function] Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) is a high-capability creative image model. [Strengths] It balances the creative flexibility and speed of the Nano series with higher fidelity output. [Best For] Highly recommended for: high-quality stylized art and complex creative compositions. [Limitations] Do NOT use for absolute photorealism (use Imagen 4). [Routing] Use this model for high-quality, creative, non-photorealistic requests.
  • google/nano-banana-2-edit: [Core Function] Nano Banana 2 Edit is a high-speed image editing model. [Strengths] It rapidly modifies existing images or extracts image frames from videos based on text prompts. [Best For] Highly recommended for: rapid style transfer, quick image modifications, and fast creative edits. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for meticulous photorealistic retouching. [Routing] Use this model by default for fast, creative image editing tasks.
  • google/nano-banana-edit: [Core Function] Nano Banana Edit is the original fast image editing model. [Strengths] Fast basic edits. [Limitations] Superseded by Nano Banana 2 Edit. [Routing] Default to Nano Banana 2 Edit unless specifically requested.
  • google/nano-banana-pro-edit: [Core Function] Nano Banana Pro Edit is a high-capability creative image editing model. [Strengths] It provides high-quality creative edits, background replacements, and style transformations. [Best For] Highly recommended for: detailed creative modifications and complex style transfers. [Limitations] Do NOT use for strict photorealistic restoration. [Routing] Use this model for detailed, high-quality creative edits.
  • google/nano-banana-2-lite: [Core Function] Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is the lightweight, cost-efficient text-to-image model of the Nano Banana 2 family. [Strengths] It generates images even faster and more cheaply than Nano Banana 2, well suited to high-volume creative and stylized output at lower cost. [Best For] Highly recommended for: high-volume batch generation, quick drafts and thumbnails, and cost-sensitive creative iteration. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model when you need maximum detail, high-end photorealism, or the richest quality; use Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, or the Imagen 4 series instead. [Routing] Choose the Lite variant when cost and throughput matter more than peak quality; step up to Nano Banana 2 for richer results.
  • google/nano-banana-2-lite-edit: [Core Function] Nano Banana 2 Lite Edit (Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is the lightweight, cost-efficient image editing model of the Nano Banana 2 family; it transforms one or more input images per a text instruction. [Strengths] It performs fast, low-cost instruction-based editing across up to 14 input images. [Best For] Highly recommended for: high-volume edits, quick style transforms, and batch background or attribute changes where cost and throughput matter. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model when you need the highest edit fidelity or richest detail; use Nano Banana 2 Edit or Nano Banana Pro Edit instead. [Routing] Choose the Lite variant for cost- and throughput-sensitive edits; step up to Nano Banana 2 Edit for higher quality.
