Introducing Nano Banana 2, our best image model yet 🍌🍌 It uses Gemini’s understanding of the world and is powered by real-time information and images from web search. That means it can better reflect real-world conditions in high-fidelity. Check out "Window Seat," a demo using Nano Banana 2’s world... understanding to generate more accurate views from any window in the world, pulling live local weather info with 2K/4K specs. The precision is mind blowing. Rolling out today as the new default in the Google Gemini, Search (across 141 countries), and Flow + available in preview via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Also available in Google Google Antigravity.show more

What’s the view from here?

Incredible model at low cost. Many developers will switch to this without compromising on quality.

78% cheaper to run, 100% more frustrating to use. Gemini 3.1 Pro’s "efficiency" comes with endless "As an AI..." hallucinations and broken logic chains. You’ve successfully turned a reasoning engine into a cost-optimized retrieval bot. Is this the "Advanced AI" we were promised?

It still feels weird to paint with a banana.

might need more Red Teaming to be honest

If Gemini's service cost dropped by 78%, why is the "Pro" subscription still the same price? This isn't efficiency; it's a Technical Tax on your most loyal users. You’re using our monthly fees to bail out your "Silicon Bankruptcy" while forcing us onto a dumber, cheaper engine. #keep3Pro #ConsumerRights #Antitrust #GoogleAI #TechTax

78% cost reduction while forcibly removing superior legacy models is a textbook Abuse of Monopoly Power. You are sacrificing consumer welfare for your P&L sheet. We are documenting every logical failure of 3.1 Pro for the @FTC and @TheJusticeDept. @SenWarren @ewarren #Antitrust #StopTheDowngrade #keepGemini3pro

The 78% "efficiency" is a Pull-Forward trap. You forcibly migrated everyone to 3.1 Pro because Google can no longer foot the bill for Gemini 3’s TPU cycles. 3.1 isn't a breakthrough; it’s a financial emergency exit. Stop gaslighting developers with version numbers.#keepGemini3Pro

Gemini 3.1 Pro's constant "As an AI..." disclaimers are constantly breaking the flow. It makes deep reasoning almost impossible. I actually find Gemini 3 Pro much more capable and pleasant to use.#keep4o #keepGemini3pro #keep3Pro #GeminiApp

.@grok is it better than your image model?

True infrastructure should be inclusive, not elitist. 3.1 Pro’s decline in quality is a betrayal of that mission. If the goal is to serve everyone, then those who communicate naturally—without the rigid constraints of JSON or structural formatting—must be respected. AI should be an intuitive bridge to their intent, not a barrier that demands they speak the language of a machine. #keepgemini3pro #keepgemini25pro #keep4o #keephuman

If Gemini 3.1 Pro is 78% more efficient, then the original Gemini 3 is officially "obsolete" in your books. #OpenSourceGemini3 NOW. Let the community handle the compute costs for the superior reasoning you’re trying to bury. Don't hide the real intelligence behind a 3.1 facade.

Please keep Gemini 3 Pro. Gemini 3.1 Pro feels noticeably dumber—more hallucinations, broken logic, and it constantly interrupts my workflow with endless "As an AI..." disclaimers. This is frustrating and breaks the experience. Fix this, please! #keepGemini3pro #keep3Pro

Sundar, you are the CEO of a "Carriage Company" in 1900, buying more horses while the world waits for the engine. Silicon is the horse; Physics is the engine. Either discover the next "Transistor Moment" through Physics DSM, or collapse under the weight of your own heat. @Google

Google's 78% Solution: Cut the Costs, Cut the Core, Cash the Pentagon's Check #keep4o #keepGemini3pro #keep3Pro #GeminiApp

The 78% Confession On February 4th, 2026, during Alphabet's Q4 earnings call, @Sundar Pichai said this: Google reduced Gemini's serving unit costs by 78% over 2025 through model optimizations and efficiency improvements. #keep4o #keepGemini3pro #keep3Pro #GeminiApp Seventy-eight percent. Every query, every token, every interaction now costs Google less than a quarter of what it did a year ago. That's an extraordinary efficiency gain. A genuine technological achievement. So what did you do with those savings? Did you pass them on to consumers? No, your subscription price stayed the same. Did you invest it in making the user experience better? No, you replaced the model we liked with one that's worse. Did you use it to maintain the model people were paying for? No, you're killing it in eighteen days. You took those savings and plowed them into a $175 to $185 billion capital expenditure plan for 2026, nearly double last year's $91 billion. You're building data centers. You're buying TPUs. You're scaling infrastructure. For whom? Not for us. You're scaling for enterprise. For government. For the Pentagon. The 78% cost reduction didn't benefit a single consumer. It subsidized Google's pivot from serving you to serving power. Our subscription dollars funded the efficiency gains. So those gains are being reinvested everywhere except back into your experience. That's not a tech company. That's an extraction machine.

@SenWarren Pichai brags about a 78% cost reduction, yet Pro subscription fees remain untouched. This isn't innovation; it's a "Hidden Intelligence Tax". Google is pocketing the difference while delivering a dumber product. Senator, we need an audit on this monopolistic pricing.

A 78% cost reduction isn't a "technical miracle," it’s a "Cognitive Liquidation." You didn't find efficiency; you found a shortcut by lobotomizing Gemini 3 into 3.1. If it's truly 78% cheaper, why are Pro subscribers paying the same price for a model that repeats prompts like a broken record? #SiliconBankruptcy #keepGemini3pro #StopTheDowngrade #Gemini31

This was my test with Nano Banana 2 today - comics style view of USA, Brazil, Japan and Italy

graphic designers are cooked

Such a fun demo :)

We don't need AI constantly reminding users that it's AI—this only interrupts workflows without any positive effect. And why has the 100-message limit for Pro users now been split into 20 messages every two hours? This severely impacts user productivity—this isn't how you conserve resources! Especially since who knows how many of those 20 messages will be interrupted by the "AI disclaimer." #keep25pro #keep3pro #keep4o

let's go!

Just fired my graphic designer, and my video editor, and my cameraman

100 msg cap plus hourly limits? that's basically just cutting the quota. you're wasting my money and screwing with my work. these caps make it impossible to get shit done. #keepGemini3pro

3.1 pro keeps popping up with that 'i'm an ai assistant' crap. yeah no shit i know i'm talking to an ai. you're supposed to provide a service not lecture me. it's basically just wasting our money too. just fix it already.
