Start building with Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash

Introduces Nano Banana 2 Lite, a faster and more cost-efficient image generation model (text-to-image in 4 seconds, $0.034 per 1K image), and Gemini Omni Flash, a model for video generation and conversational editing ($0.10 per second of video output). Nano Banana 2 Lite is positioned as a replacement for gemini-2.5-flash-image. Gemini Omni Flash supports conversational video editing, multimodal referencing, and real-world knowledge integration. Limitations include 10-second video generations, and incomplete support for audio/video references and character consistency. The post highlights chaining these models for end-to-end multimedia experiences and provides demo apps.
