Gemini Nano Banana 2.1

Built for any-input-to-video multimodal creation, putting stronger emphasis than earlier Gemini video workflows on unified orchestration of text, image, audio, and video materials. Compared with Veo, Kling, and Runway, it is better for integrating complex multimodal assets into one creative workflow.

Built for image generation and editing, with stronger multimodal understanding, conversational edits, and rapid visual prototyping than earlier Gemini image capabilities. Compared with GPT Image, Qwen Image, and Seedream, it is useful for combining documents, images, and prompts in one visual workflow.

A new fast multimodal model in the Gemini 3 family, released in August 2026, built for low-cost, high-throughput multimodal understanding. It accepts text, image, video, audio and document inputs with a 1M-token context, suited to large-scale processing, batch workloads and real-time interactions.

Built for multimodal understanding, coding, and long-context tasks, improving over Gemini 3.0 / 2.5 in throughput, context, and tool capabilities. Compared with GPT, Claude, and Qwen models, it is strong for unified analysis workflows across text, images, audio, video, and documents.
