• 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; prefer Nano Banana Pro for higher-fidelity creative output. [Routing] Route to this model for ‘fast’, ‘creative’, or ‘stylized’ high-volume requests. For Nano Banana 2.1, use google/nano-banana-2.1.
• 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 this model when you need the absolute highest photorealism or detail; step up within the Nano Banana family (Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana Pro Edit workflows) as needed. [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.
