Optimized for ultra-low latency image generation and editing in high-volume interactive and production workloads.\n\n- Generates text-to-image outputs in under 4 seconds at $0.034 per 1K-resolution image. Positioned as the efficiency-focused model in the Nano Banana family for bulk content creation, consistent frame generation, and high-frequency pipelines.\n\n**Gemini Omni Flash**: Public preview for natively multimodal video generation and conversational editing. Supports up to 10-second 720p videos with multimodal inputs. Priced at $0.10 per second. Uses the Interactions API to maintain session context for up to three sequential natural-language edits (scene changes, style transfers, product swaps). Can be chained with image models such as Nano Banana 2 Lite.\n\n**Availability**: Both models live today in Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Nano Banana 2 Lite is rolling out more broadly to Gemini app, NotebookLM, Google Photos, Search/AI Mode, and other Google surfaces.\n\nThe [releases](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog) reflect Google’s push to deliver specialized, high-throughput models alongside its frontier systems. Nano Banana 2 Lite targets cost-sensitive, high-volume image workloads that previously required heavier models, while Omni Flash introduces conversational, multi-turn video editing grounded in multimodal understanding — a step beyond single-shot generation.\n\nFor high-intent readers evaluating generative AI infrastructure and content platforms, these launches lower the cost and friction of scaling image and short-form video production.\n\nThe sub-4-second image generation at aggressive pricing and the ability to perform multiple contextual video edits in one session create new operational leverage for marketing teams, social platforms, and AI-native creative tools.\n\nCombined with today’s Veo model sunsets, Google is actively migrating developers toward faster, cheaper, and more interactive media generation primitives across its ecosystem.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-releases-nano-banana-2-lite-to-ga-and-gemini-omni-flash-to-public-preview", "canonical_source": "https://www.narracomm.com/google-releases-nano-banana-2-lite-to-ga-and-gemini-omni-flash-to-public-preview/", "published_at": "2026-06-30 17:29:42+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-01 00:23:00.734352+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["generative-ai", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "computer-vision", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Google", "Gemini", "Nano Banana 2 Lite", "Gemini Omni Flash", "Google AI Studio", "Gemini API", "Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform", "Veo"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-releases-nano-banana-2-lite-to-ga-and-gemini-omni-flash-to-public-preview", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-releases-nano-banana-2-lite-to-ga-and-gemini-omni-flash-to-public-preview.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-releases-nano-banana-2-lite-to-ga-and-gemini-omni-flash-to-public-preview.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-releases-nano-banana-2-lite-to-ga-and-gemini-omni-flash-to-public-preview.jsonld"}}
