Google said to be readying Nano Banana 3 Pro image model
TestingCatalog says it spotted references to a new image-generation model, internally called Gempix 3 Pro, and argues that by the naming convention that previously mapped Gempix 2 to Nano Banana 2 Pro, it could be Nano Banana 3 Pro. The report says the model is believed to be based on Gemini 4 Argon and has been added to Google's existing image-citation blocking system. It stresses that Google has not confirmed the model or any public release plan, and that a November–December window is only an inference from past release patterns.
According to the report, the model is believed to be built on Gemini 4 Argon and has been added to Google's image-citation blocking system, suggesting it is in development and possibly internal testing.
Google appears to be preparing another major AI release alongside Gemini 4 Argon, which Google AI Ultra subscribers are expected to receive. We recently spotted references to a new image-generation model called Gempix 3 Pro, potentially signaling the next generation of Nano Banana.
Google previously used the Gempix 2 designation for its Nano Banana 2 Pro model. Following the same naming convention, Gempix 3 Pro could be Nano Banana 3 Pro, another upgrade to Google’s Pro image-generation lineup. More importantly, our findings indicate that the new model will be based on Gemini 4 Argon, potentially bringing substantial improvements to image generation and editing.
BREAKING 🔥: Google is preparing Nano Banana 3 Pro, based on the Gemini 4 model. Gempix is an internal reference. It is expected to arrive in the November-December timeframe. This year 💪👀 https://t.co/HsLqobAVF7 pic.twitter.com/HTiUbW1OoV— 🚨 AI News | TestingCatalog (@testingcatalog) October 12, 2026
Gempix 3 Pro has also been added to Google’s existing image citation functionality. This system can detect when a generated image closely matches an existing reference image, including content associated with platforms such as Shutterstock and Pinterest, and block the generation. Adding Gempix 3 Pro suggests Google is integrating the upcoming model into its established image-matching and content-protection mechanisms.
