What Is Google Nano Banana 2 and Gempix-2
Nano Banana 2 is the next-generation AI image generation and editing model developed by Google DeepMind, expected to be powered by the upcoming Gemini 3.0 Pro model. While Google has not officially released Nano Banana 2 yet, the internal codename Gempix-2 has appeared in Gemini’s UI and feature flags, indicating that this new model may launch as part of the Gemini 3 update.
The previous generation, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, became widely known as “Nano Banana” in the community. It launched in August 2025 and quickly gained popularity because of its very fast image generation speed, strong character consistency and precise natural-language editing. According to signals from the Gemini developer community, Nano Banana 2 aims to take the model to a more professional level. Expected improvements include higher native resolution, better prompt understanding, more accurate text rendering and stronger performance with infographics, localization and world knowledge.
