- Google launched a photorealistic AI image generation feature in Google Earth on July 30, allowing users to type a sentence and get an AI-generated image of any location.
- The feature was withdrawn on July 31 due to users sharing images that violated Google's policies, despite watermarking and content filters.
- Reports showed the tool could generate images of sensitive topics like nuclear plants, bomb craters, and false disaster scenes, indicating insufficient guardrails.
- Google stated the feature is paused, not canceled, and they are working on implementing stronger safeguards before re-releasing it.

- Nano Banana 2 enables custom image generation using Google Earth's satellite, aerial, and 3D imagery, allowing users to create concepts grounded in the real world.
- Five use cases: bringing history to life (e.g., Pompeii in 78 A.D.), creating infographics for learning (e.g., Statue of Liberty), real estate planning (e.g., Tokyo lot into shopping district), visualizing projects (e.g., lakefront cabin), and giving places a futuristic makeover (e.g., Google campus as sci-fi utopia).
- The feature is available globally for Google Earth web users; users can zoom in, tap 'create image,' and type a prompt to generate images.
Nano Banana can be prompt engineered for extremely nuanced AI image generation

- FLUX.1-dev has overshadowed Stable Diffusion, but ChatGPT's free image generation, especially the 'Studio Ghibli' style, became the new benchmark for AI images.
- Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (codename Nano Banana) is an autoregressive model with strong prompt adherence, allowing for detailed edits and complex instructions.
- Nano Banana excels at following nuanced prompts, including JSON and HTML inputs, due to its robust text encoder and large context window (32,768 tokens).
- Despite its strengths, Nano Banana struggles with style transfer (e.g., Studio Ghibli) and has few IP restrictions, raising legal concerns.

Nano Banana Pro is the best AI image generator, with caveats
5 days ago
- Nano Banana and Nano Banana Pro are different models; Nano Banana Pro is not a replacement but a complementary model with higher costs and specific strengths.
- Nano Banana Pro excels at style transfer, code generation with syntax highlighting, webpage rendering, and text rendering with high accuracy.
- Nano Banana Pro offers higher resolution output (2K/4K) and uses a stronger text encoder based on Gemini 3 Pro, which includes a mandatory thinking step for prompt understanding.
- Nano Banana Pro supports Grounding with Google Search for factual accuracy in infographics, but results may still have errors and require verification.
