Google released this month an updated image generation and editing AI model, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, also named Nano Banana.

This model is available via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio for developers and Vertex AI for enterprise. It’s priced at $30.00 per 1 million output tokens, with each image being 1290 output tokens ($0.039 per image). All other modalities, including input and output, follow Gemini 2.5 Flash.

The company built a template app in Google AI Studio, so users can customize it and vibe code on top of it.

OpenRouter.ai partnered with Google to help bring Gemini 2.5 Flash Image to their 3M+ developers everywhere.

Also, the developer platform for generative media fal.ai made it available to its developer community.

All images created or edited with Gemini 2.5 Flash Image will include an invisible SynthID digital watermark, so they can be identified as AI-generated or edited.
