Google's Nano Banana 2 Delivers Faster AI Image Generation with Real-Time Data

Google's Nano Banana 2 speeds up Gemini image generation, merging Nano Banana Pro features with faster rendering, real-time data support (like weather), better text accuracy, and a range of presets. It’s the default in many Gemini workflows, with usage limits that scale by plan (free users get fewer generations, Pro and Ultra use higher caps). Pro remains the benchmark for highest fidelity, but Nano Banana 2 delivers near-Pro quality more quickly; results can still include occasional spelling or realism glitches, and AI-generated images are watermarked with SynthID.

Google's Nano Banana 2: pro-grade AI image tools go free

Google is expanding Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) to free users across Gemini, Google Search AI, and other platforms, making features once locked to Nano Banana Pro available to everyone. The model uses real-time data, web-sourced imagery, and Gemini’s knowledge base to render faster and more accurately, with legible text, localized translation, and greater creative control over lighting, textures, aspect ratios, and resolution from 512px to 4K. Nano Banana 2 replaces Nano Banana Pro as the default across the Gemini app and related tools, while Pro remains available for specialized tasks; the update also rolls out to AI Mode in Search, Lens, and Flow.

Google rolls out Nano Banana 2 as Gemini 3.1 Flash Image across its suite

Google unveils Nano Banana 2, officially Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, a faster, Pro‑level image generator that replaces the previous Nano Banana models across the Gemini family. It leverages Gemini 3.1 knowledge for higher fidelity, can render up to five characters and 14 objects per workflow, offers richer textures and vibrant lighting, and supports more aspect ratios and up to 4K resolution. For now it’s the sole image generator in Gemini apps (Fast/Thinking/Pro); a Nano Banana 2 Pro variant may come later.

Researchers Reveal Secrets of AI Creativity

Researchers have discovered that the apparent creativity of diffusion models in AI image generation stems from deterministic imperfections in their denoising process, revealing that their 'creativity' is an inevitable outcome of their architecture, similar to biological morphogenesis processes. This insight could impact future AI development and our understanding of human creativity.

X Unveils Grok AI: Free Image Generator and Chatbot for All

Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has launched an image generation model called Grok, which uses a new model named Aurora to enhance its capabilities. The model can generate high-quality images from text or other images and is available to select users, with plans for a wider rollout. Despite initially naming the model Aurora, Musk has decided to retain the name Grok. This launch comes as a response to OpenAI's recent release of a video generation model. xAI is also expanding its supercomputing capabilities with a new cluster in Memphis, Tennessee.

Grok AI's New Image Generator and Free Access Unveiled on X

Elon Musk's AI model, Grok, briefly showcased a new image generator called Aurora on the platform X, offering more photorealistic images compared to its predecessor, Flux. Although not widely released, Aurora's beta version demonstrated few creative limitations, generating images of copyrighted characters and public figures. Users praised the realism of Aurora's creations, despite some AI-generated artifacts. Musk indicated that the model, still in beta, will improve rapidly.

Elon Musk's X Introduces Aurora Image Generator

Elon Musk's social network X, formerly Twitter, has introduced a new image generator named Aurora to its Grok assistant. Aurora, accessible via X's mobile apps and web, can generate images of public and copyrighted figures with few restrictions, though it avoids explicit content. The origins of Aurora are unclear, but it excels at photorealistic images despite some flaws. This release follows X's decision to make Grok free for all users, allowing limited free access to its features. Meanwhile, xAI, Musk's AI startup, has secured $6 billion in funding and is developing a standalone app for Grok.

Google Docs Introduces AI-Powered Image Generation with Imagen 3

Google has integrated its Imagen 3 AI model into Google Docs, allowing paid Workspace and Google One AI Premium users to generate custom inline images directly within their documents. This feature expands on previous capabilities that only supported full-bleed cover images. Users can create photorealistic images using text prompts and select from different styles and aspect ratios. However, this functionality is not available to free users and is currently rolling out to eligible subscribers.

"Viral 'All Eyes on Rafah' AI Image Sparks Global Debate and Propaganda Claims"

Two Malaysian artists, Zila Abka and Amirul Shah, are both claiming credit for a viral AI-generated image of Gaza, highlighting the complexities of authorship and ownership in AI-created content. Abka, a science teacher and AI art hobbyist, says she created the image in February using Microsoft's Image Creator, while Shah, a college student and photographer, claims he generated a similar image independently. The dispute underscores the challenges of verifying originality and ownership in the realm of AI-generated art.
