Google Gemini’s AI image model gets a ‘bananas’ upgrade


Google says that it's behind the anonymous AI image editor "nano-banana" that's been making waves on social media.

Brichtova says Google specifically designed the image model with consumer use cases in-mind, such as helping users visualize their home and garden projects. The model also has better “world knowledge” and can combine multiple references in a single prompt; for example, merging an image of a sofa, a living room photo, and a color palette into one cohesive render. To address the rise of deepfake imagery, which can make it hard for users to discern what’s real online, Brichtova says that Google applies visual watermarks to AI-generated images, as well as identifiers in its metadata.
