- Google releases Nano Banana 2.1 image model, halving output prices
Google released Nano Banana 2.1, an image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3.6 Flash, adding mask-based local editing and stronger subject consistency — up to 14 reference images, keeping four characters and ten objects consistent — plus Google Search grounding and minimal/medium/high thinking levels. Pricing is roughly halved versus Nano Banana 2: a 1K image drops from 6.70 to 3.36 cents and a 4K image from 15.10 to 7.56 cents, while input and text/thinking output prices rise. It is available now in AI Studio (gemini-nano-banana-2.1), the Gemini app, Search AI Mode, Flow and other surfaces, and the Nano Banana 2 API retires on October 29. The Decoder notes 2.1 beats Nano Banana Pro on some benchmarks, but Pro often still produces better images in practice.
