Model Card
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Preview is Google's image generation and editing model, widely known by its codename Nano Banana. It generates and edits images through the same chat-style API as other Gemini models, taking text and images as input and returning images alongside text.
It is known for editing images with natural-language instructions, keeping a character's appearance consistent across multiple edits, and blending several input images into one coherent scene. At release in August 2025 it ranked #1 on LMArena's leaderboards for both text-to-image generation and image editing.
Output is billed per token at $30 per million. Each generated image is 1290 output tokens, about $0.039 per image. The model is in preview, so the ID and behavior may change. Pick it for conversational, multi-turn image generation and editing rather than plain text chat.

Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is Google's fastest and most cost-efficient model in the Gemini 3.5 series, built for high-throughput, low-latency workloads. It scores 54% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 72.2% on GDM-MRCR v2, up from 31% and 60.1% for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. It also outperforms the larger Gemini 3 Flash on SWE-Bench Pro (54.2% vs. 49.6%) and OSWorld-Verified (74.0% vs. 65.1%), while generating output at roughly 350 tokens per second. It supports text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window, configurable thinking levels, and function calling, including computer use as a built-in tool. It's suited for agentic search, document processing, and other high-volume tasks where throughput and cost matter more than maximum reasoning depth.
ChatGemini 3.6 Flash
Gemini 3.6 Flash is Google's workhorse Flash-tier model, released as the successor to Gemini 3.5 Flash. It's built for running AI agents in production, with improvements in coding precision, computer use, and multimodal understanding. In Google's own benchmarks, it scores 83.0% on OSWorld-Verified (up from 78.4% for 3.5 Flash), 49% on DeepSWE (up from 37%), 63.9% on MLE-Bench (up from 49.7%), and 58.7% on SWE-Bench Pro. It also produces 17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash on comparable tasks. It accepts text, image, video, audio, and PDF input with a 1M token context window, supports function calling and a built-in computer-use tool, and has a March 2026 knowledge cutoff. At $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens, it's cheaper on output than 3.5 Flash's $9 rate.
ImageGemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image
Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image is Google DeepMind's fastest and lowest-cost image generation and editing model in the Gemini 3.1 family, also known as Nano Banana 2 Lite. It generates a 1K-resolution image in about 4 seconds, roughly 2.7x faster than Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, at $0.0336 per image. It keeps the character consistency, precise natural-language editing, and real-world knowledge of the Nano Banana family while trading some peak quality for speed. It supports text-to-image generation, image editing, and multi-image composition through the same API used by other Gemini image models, with a discrete set of 14 aspect ratios at 1K resolution. It's built for high-volume, latency-sensitive use cases such as rapid prototyping, interactive applications, and batch image generation, where cost and turnaround time matter more than maximum fidelity.
