   Researchers say off-the-shelf tools bypass OpenAI, Google image filters

   White Circle, a safety research group backed by people from Anthropic, DeepMind, Hugging Face and OpenAI, published a preprint describing a RISE attack pipeline that it says bypassed image filters on DALL·E 3, Google's Nano Banana 2 and GPT-Image-2 using off-the-shelf tools and API calls. Ars Technica reported that about 13 percent of attack prompts on DALL·E 3 produced human-verified explicit images, under 10 percent for Nano Banana 2 and about 3 percent for GPT-Image-2. White Circle plans to open-source the pipeline and present the work at NeurIPS 2026; TechNews also reported, without corroboration, that newer ChatGPT Images 2.5 and Nano Banana 2.1 were easier to bypass.

   Google moves free Gemini users to Flash-Lite, launching Nano Banana 2.1

   Google is narrowing the models available in the Gemini app for free personal accounts to Gemini Flash-Lite only, down from three. The cheapest AI Plus plan keeps Flash-Lite and Flash but loses Pro, while AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers retain all three models; Google says affected users will get an email about when the change applies. Three days earlier Google released Nano Banana 2.1, an image model built on Gemini 3.6 Flash, which scored 1050 on overall preference in Google's text-to-image human preference tests versus 990 for Nano Banana 2. On the Gemini API, a 1K image costs $0.0336, down from $0.067, while input rises to $1.50 per million tokens from $0.50 with no free tier.
