With nano-banana, Google appears to have created a state-of-the-art image generation model that seems to have a leap in capabilities over existing approaches. It remains to be seen when Google officially launches the model, and with what sort of pricing, but given the buzz around the model even before its official release, Google might already have a hit on its hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nano-banana, the mysterious image generation model that had appeared on LMAreana a few days ago and had wowed people with its editing
