Google's New Nano Banana Pro Uses Gemini 3 Power To Generate More Realistic AI Images

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Google's meme-friendly Nano Banana image-generation model is getting an upgrade. The new Nano Banana Pro is rolling out with improved reasoning and instruction following, giving users the ability to create more accurate images with legible text and make precise edits to existing images. It's available to everyone in the Gemini app, but free users will find themselves up against the usage limits pretty quickly. Nano Banana Pro is part of the newly launched Gemini 3 Pro -- it's actually called Gemini 3 Pro Image in the same way the original is Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, but Google is sticking with the meme-y name. You can access it by selecting Gemini 3 Pro and then turning on the "Create images" option.

Google says the new model can follow complex prompts to create more accurate images. The model is apparently so capable that it can generate an entire usable infographic in a single shot with no weird AI squiggles in place of words. Nano Banana Pro is also better at maintaining consistency in images. You can blend up to 14 images with this tool, and it can maintain the appearance of up to five people in outputs. Google also promises better editing. You can refine your AI images or provide Nano Banana Pro with a photo and make localized edits without as many AI glitches. It can even change core elements of the image like camera angles, color grading, and lighting without altering other elements. Google is pushing the professional use angle with its new model, which has much-improved resolution options. Your creations in Nano Banana Pro can be rendered at up to 4K.

I read "Nano Banana Bro".

Personally I've had the opposite problem, sometimes they tell me it won't fit. It's frustrating.

My banana isn't firm enough. Let me know when there's an LLM that gives me what I want. Until then I'll make do with my own uncensored systems.

The Gov't should put in new laws in place

Be real AI has been used by porn and other questionable acts that requires Congress to do something about it. AI Should NOT have any protections and NEEDS Restrictions put on it for Everyone's rights. It's being roughshod at the moment and needs to be reined in. AI content should NOT have any copyright protections whatsoever because there was no Human Creation, Thus no Protections. Just typing in what you want is not enough. There should be a movement created to push this on the gov't, why isnt there?

Because any attempt to create a movement would quickly be flooded by highly motivated, much smaller, but EXTREMELY more well-financed groups to either shut it down outright, or infiltrate and cause them to look like whining morons.

We shouldn't have allowed these companies to gather data the way they did, but that's happened. Now they're massive economic players, as well as huge data thieves. The kind of economic players that can simply buy their way out of any criticism. And anybody not already on board wit

You're absolutely right.

and NEEDS Restrictions put on it for Everyone's rights.

Really? So you'll let AI take Your picture and voice and let it do what anyone wants? That's happening NOW. Go on 4chan and see. What do people have to fight against it? nothing. For example Sabrina Carpenter, Her likeness is being used for a lot of questionable content, what is she to do about it? is Her Label fighting against it? Should there be new laws to restrict what it can do? yes. Do people have to go through hoops and the never ending circus to get it taken down in 5 years like it is now? no, Ther

You do understand that AI produced content does not have copyright protections today for that very reason. So I'm not sure what you are bitching about.

Re:

[iluvcrap2000]

So when Movie companies start using it, then THAT Content is freely be able to be used since it doesn't have copyright protection? There;s a myriad of things that HAVE to Be addressed. AI wasn't even in any comprehension when Copyright was Created, so Several points has to be fixed. The Performer rights needs more Protections and tools that are faster for them to protect their image rather than go through the courts. Seen the stuff with taylor swift? Her legal team surely knows what's going on, so why would
