Today, we’re making it faster and easier to experiment, refine and scale your ideas with two major releases:

• Introducing Nano Banana 2 Lite: Our fastest, most cost-efficient image model in the Nano Banana family yet, built for high throughput, speed and scale. Nano Banana 2 Lite is available today in Google AI Studio, Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. It is also rolling out today in Google consumer surfaces including AI Mode in Search, Gemini app and many other products.
• Bringing Gemini Omni Flash to developers: Our high quality, cost-efficient model for video generation and conversational editing, now available in Google AI Studio, the Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform for the first time. Omni Flash is also available in the Gemini app and Google Flow.

Building with generative media is often about creative iteration. With these two models, developers can build comprehensive, end-to-end multimedia experiences that connect rapid image generation with video creation and editing. Whether your workflow requires generating thousands of images or editing multi-turn video sequences, you now have two new models to build faster, iterate seamlessly and bring your creative vision to life.
