Both are now available via Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Nano Banana 2 Lite generates an image in about four seconds and costs $0.034 per 1K image, while Omni Flash costs $0.10 per second of generated video.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nano Banana 2 Lite (technically: Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is designed for speed and volume and is intended to replace the original Nano Banana model.<\/li>\n<li>Gemini Omni Flash is now available to developers for the first time and creates and edits videos from text, image, and video inputs.<\/li>\n<li>Pricing: $0.034 per 1K image (Nano Banana 2 Lite), $0.10 per video second (Omni Flash, same price as Veo 3.1 Fast).<\/li>\n<li>Available in Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and the Gemini app; Nano Banana 2 Lite is also available in Search\u2019s AI Mode, NotebookLM, Google Photos, and Google Ads.<\/li>\n<li>All outputs bear an invisible SynthID watermark.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-nano-banana-2-lite\"\/>What is Nano Banana 2 Lite?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google\u2019s new entry-level model for AI image generation with Gemini. It\u2019s aimed at anyone who needs a lot of images quickly while keeping costs in mind. The official model name is Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image; \u201cNano Banana\u201d is the catchy codename that Google now openly uses for its native image features.<\/p>\n<p>Two features stand out. First, the speed: An image is generated from a text prompt in about four seconds. This makes the model practical for quick experimentation, for drafts, and for applications where users are watching in real time. Second, the price: $0.034 per image at 1K resolution. Anyone generating images on a large scale will quickly notice this difference in their bill.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Google<\/p>\n<p>Despite the focus on speed, Google promises that the basics are solid.
