Google: Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview)

The Google Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview) is designed to handle both image and text inputs within a context length of 65,536 tokens, making it versatile for tasks that require processing multiple types of data simultaneously. This model supports reasoning, enabling more sophisticated analyses compared to simpler models; however, it does not offer structured output or integrated tools. For those seeking a model with robust capabilities in handling both text and image inputs at an accessible price point, the Nano Banana 2 might be worth considering. Despite its reasonable input cost of $0.5 per thousand tokens, the high output cost of $3.0 per thousand tokens makes it less suitable for large-scale projects or scenarios requiring extensive processing. Given that no independent benchmark coverage is available yet, users should carefully evaluate their specific needs before committing to this model.
