Nano Banana deprecated, retires 2026-10-02 → Nano Banana 2

Google's Nano Banana image model, listed as gemini-2.5-flash-image with a 33k context window and pricing of $0.30 per 1M input and $30 per 1M output tokens, is deprecated and will retire on 2026-10-02 in favor of Nano Banana 2. The model-tracking service llmstatus.ai is flagging code that calls Nano Banana so developers can migrate before the retirement date.
