Exclusive: Google to Unveil Gemini Nano Banana 2 Flash – High-Performance AI at Lower Costs

It seems that Google is about to make a big move with its Gemini AI ecosystem by introducing a new model, which is now called Nano Banana 2 Flash, although the name is not yet final. Internal references already indicated that the Pro version of Nano Banana 2 was tagged as “Ketchup,” while the Flash variant recently emerged in the code under the name “Mayo.”

Giving. Early access to Nano Banana 2 Flash is indicative of a performance level that equals that of Nano Banana 2 Pro, but at a lower operational cost. This economical method could facilitate the enlargement of the audience for Google’s access to Nano Banana 2 without sacrificing the quality of output.

The Flash model is expected to integrate smoothly with the prevailing Gemini lineup, not just augmenting but also probably replacing the existing models where there is a need for cost-cutting. This scenario is particularly important for the businesses and clients that require large-scale AI deployments and want the best performance without the extravagant price tag.

Usually, such code references have signaled an official rollout, and thus, Google might be in the mood to announce Nano Banana 2 Flash in the early weeks of December.

This launch coincides with Google’s overarching Gemini scheme: ascending AI implements that accommodate high-end functions for upscale users and at the same time, provide economy measures for the high-volume or budget-sensitive applications. By the introduction of Nano Banana 2 Flash, Google’s AI ecosystem is likely made easier to reach while still keeping the top-tier performance.
