Google's Gemini platform is about to launch Nano Banana 2, codenamed Gempix2.

According to the latest news, Google is accelerating preparations to release its highly anticipated AI image generation model, Nano Banana 2, internally codenamed "GEMPIX 2". This development stems from a recent announcement on the Gemini official website, and industry insiders predict that the model will be officially unveiled in the coming weeks. This marks a further acceleration of Google's innovation in the field of generative AI, aiming to bring users a more efficient and accurate image creation experience.

It is understood that the Nano Banana series, as a core product of Google's DeepMind team, has quickly gained popularity since the launch of the first-generation Nano Banana (officially named Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) on August 26, 2025, due to its outstanding image editing and generation capabilities. The model topped the LMARaena image editing leaderboard in early previews, helping users easily merge photos, change backgrounds, or generate artistic images with its "multi-turn dialogue" interaction and highly consistent character retention function. Within just a few weeks, it attracted over 10 million new users to the Gemini ecosystem and facilitated over 200 million image editing operations. The leak of Nano Banana 2 originated from teaser cards and technical specifications appearing in the Gemini UI. These clues suggest that the new model will continue the creative focus of its predecessor, optimizing visual generation speed and artistic style diversity for professional creators and developers. It may also be deeply integrated with the Gemini 3.0 series, further enhancing multimodal processing capabilities, such as custom visual style generation for video overviews.

Google has not yet released specific details, but such announcements typically indicate an imminent release, possibly alongside updates to products like NotebookLM and Google Photos. Analysts point out that Nano Banana's success stems not only from its technological leadership—such as the built-in SynthID digital watermarking to identify AI-generated content—but also from its seamless integration with Gemini applications, allowing ordinary users to operate like professional designers.

Following the first-generation model's success in pushing Gemini's monthly active users past 650 million, the arrival of Nano Banana 2 is expected to further narrow the gap with competitors and inject new vitality into the creative industry. However, Google emphasizes that all generated images will be watermarked to ensure transparency and compliance. With AI tools penetrating from text to vision, the release of Nano Banana 2 may spark a new round of industry discussion.
