Nano Banana 2.1 is here
Google's new Flash image model is now the default: sharper images, cleaner text and steadier characters, at 10 credits per image instead of 16.
Introducing Skills
Save your creative workflows as agent skills, try two new video models, and create in a faster app.
Introducing Skills (beta)
Skills teach Agent how you like things done. Type / in a chat to pick from 30 built-in guides, from product shots to film stocks, or write your own for the whole workspace. It's in its early stages, so give it a try and tell us what you think.
Two new video models
MiniMax H3 makes 4 to 15 second clips at 768p or 2K, with sound. Start from a prompt, animate a first frame, set a last frame to land on, or hand it up to nine reference images to follow.
Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash makes 10 second clips from 360p up to 4K, in 16:9 or 9:16, also with sound. It takes a start frame, an end frame, or reference images.
Both always generate audio, so there is no toggle to remember.
A tidier feed
The feed can get busy once you have hundreds of generations. Click any date header to collapse it into a compact preview, and older days now start collapsed, so skimming back in time is much faster. Spot the one you were looking for? Click it, and the day expands with it right in view.
Everything is faster
The image picker now opens instantly, even in workspaces with thousands of images. Scrolling stays smooth, and thumbnails load at the right size, right when you need them.
Improvements
- Switch the feed between comfortable and condensed density
- Every project now has its own link. Share it, reload it, or hit Back, and you land right where you were
- Open any image from an Agent chat full screen, without leaving the chat
- On mobile, a new bottom bar switches between Agent, the composer, and your work
- Videos now show a preview frame wherever thumbnails appear
- Agent chats now support GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.6 Luna. Pick one per chat: Sol for the highest quality, Luna for speed
- Need help, or have an idea for us? Reach us right from the account menu, and attach files or screenshots for context
- Long rows of reference images collapse into a single tile you can expand
Fixes
- When something breaks, it stays contained. The rest of the app keeps working
- Chats that crashed on open now recover instead of crashing again on every reload
- Show in feed now takes you to the right project every time
- Failed images no longer leave empty tiles in the lightbox
