Nano Banana 2 Lite

Nano Banana 2 Lite, also known as Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image, is DeepMind's fastest and cheapest Gemini image model, designed for velocity and scale. A user found its "Where's Waldo" style image generation for a raccoon with a ham radio superior to previous Nano Banana models, despite the model misspelling "Forest Festival" in two ways. This model was released on June 30th, 2026.
