Introducing Nano Banana 2

Berman reviews the model's image generation and text capabilities. He shows selected infographic examples.

Google's Nano Banana 2 is an image generation model, also called Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. I emphasize that it can use knowledge about the world when responding to visual prompts, render text and infographics, and generate images at up to 4K resolution.
