Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google’s fastest Gemini Image model in the Nano Banana family, built for high throughput, speed, and scale. Also known as Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image, it is designed for rapid ideation and high-velocity developer pipelines where speed, iteration, and efficient production are the primary constraints. Developers can use it as the recommended replacement for the first version of Nano Banana, gaining immediate benefits across key performance dimensions while continuing to build image-generation and editing workflows through Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Nano Banana 2 Lite is optimized for near-real-time, high-volume workflows where ultra-low latency is critical, delivering text-to-image outputs in just a few seconds and making it well-suited for interactive prototyping, visual drafting, creative exploration, and large-scale image generation.

Nemotron 3 Nano is a compact, open large language model in NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 family, designed for efficient agentic reasoning, conversational AI, and coding tasks. It uses a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts Mamba-Transformer architecture that activates only a small subset of parameters per token, enabling low-latency inference while maintaining strong accuracy and reasoning performance. It has approximately 31.6 billion total parameters with around 3.2 billion active (3.6 billion including embeddings), allowing it to achieve higher accuracy than previous Nemotron 2 Nano while using less computation per forward pass. Nemotron 3 Nano supports long-context processing of up to one million tokens, enabling it to handle large documents, multi-step workflows, and extended reasoning chains in a single pass. It is designed for high-throughput, real-time execution, excelling in multi-turn conversations, tool calling, and agent-based workflows where tasks require planning, reasoning, and more.
