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.

Generated cloud infographic
DIAPOSITIVE 1 / 1Generated cloud infographicThe example illustrates a comic-style comparison of cloud types.

I show a flat-lay infographic and a comic-style comparison of cloud types, along with other art styles. The examples look impressive to me. They are selected outputs, so individual images, text and factual labels still need checking; access and limits vary by product.
