Google's second-generation Nano Banana is out! One-click calculus simulation ends the PS era

Nano Banana 2, the next highly anticipated "AI image king," is not far from its official release.

Today, the next generation of Google’s Nano Banana has been spotted on the third-party platform Media IO.

Currently, it is just a preview version, and insiders predict that NB2 will be released in mid to late this month.

Two months ago, after the release of the first generation Nano Banana, it sparked a creative frenzy worldwide due to its outstanding image generation and editing capabilities.

From real-life OOTD, 3D figurines, to pencil sketches and architectural multidimensional views, netizens unleashed their creativity, exploring the infinite possibilities of visual creation.

Now, based on the first tests by netizens, Nano Banana 2 is even more impressive—

• Resolution: Native 2K, with an option for 4K ultra-resolution

• Faster generation speed: Complex scenes only take 10 seconds

• Sharper text rendering, more precise prompt response

With just one sentence, it can directly deduce "√2 is an irrational number" on the blackboard.

In character generation, its high consistency sets a new benchmark, accurately capturing and restoring the features of individuals.

Similarly, based on pure text, generating a Windows 11 desktop and a YouTube blogger's homepage, Nano Banana 2's detail performance is nothing short of insane.

Overall, the new generation Nano Banana 2 performs exceptionally well in text rendering, infographics, world knowledge, charts, and instruction adherence.

Although not officially released, a wave of stunning real tests of NB2 has swept across the internet.

Mastering Calculus, One Diagram at a Time

On Reddit, netizens discovered some reference images generated by Nano Banana 2 As long as you input an image of a calculus problem, Nano-banana 2 can solve it on the whiteboard and provide all the steps!

Although it's unclear how it does this, it has been tested before, and it can be confirmed that it is indeed real.

This gave Correct_Mistake2640 a sense of historical "seeing it for the first time." He remembers when he was in college in 1999, his calculus teacher told him that computers would never be able to do integrals, so he should learn integrals for the future.

In fact, Mathematica has been able to solve some integral problems since at least 2005, and the first version of Mathematica was released in 1988.

Although Nano-banana 2 has some minor errors, for outsiders, the image model can complete tasks so logically that it feels like magic.

Nano-banana 2 is like an AI version of Da Vinci: a "painter" that can also solve college math problems.

For example, the following higher-order differential problem looks much more comfortable than the text wall of 2.5 Pro.

In short, it is highly likely that Nano-banana 2 has truly arrived—

Reddit users are about to prove whether this is real!

Let Nano Banana 2 generate an old-fashioned map of the Mediterranean region, with an old parchment texture that feels very retro.

In a nutshell, direct output OS + UI webpage

Similar to the practical case at the beginning, Nano Banana 2 generates a Windows desktop + Edge web browser based on pure text

Moreover, the Gemini 3.0 homepage in the web browser is also generated.

Some netizens stated that upon seeing this image, they immediately searched online to see if the Gemini 3.0 homepage really exists.

Others commented that—

The browser, desktop, window, everything is a "generated image."

In other words, the UI and OS are fully integrated, entering an era of one-click generation. This is no longer the realm of "images."

YouTube blogger WorldofAI tested it and bluntly stated that NB2 is the terminator of Photoshop.

Realistic Character Generation, Indistinguishable by the Naked Eye

Nano Banana 2 has made character generation even more realistic.

Below is a comparison of the effects of two generations of NB under the same prompt, with NB2 having an additional layer of perspective.

The effect of posing in an airplane shows that the characters in NB2 appear more realistic.

In two-dimensional Cosplay, it is completely indistinguishable as an AI-generated effect.

Using AI to simulate smartphone photography effects, it's absolutely hard to distinguish between real and fake; seeing is not necessarily believing:

Two-dimensional Deification, Face-to-Face Eye Kill Crit

In the realm of two-dimensional generation, Nano Banana 2 has opened up a new world.

Assuming it generates a male protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo, charging forward with two glowing blue daggers in hand, along with images featuring blue light effects.

In the instructions, the focus was on a close-up shot and an intense, fierce expression, which NB2 delivered perfectly.

prompt: A dynamic, low-angle action shot of Sung Jin-Woo leaping forward, dual-wielding his glowing blue daggers (like the 'Demon King's Daggers'). He is a blur of motion, with energy trails following his blades. The background is a dark, stylized dungeon interior. Focus on the intense, focused expression on his face. Style: high-contrast, anime, action.

In the heavy snow, Ken Kaneki from "Tokyo Ghoul" is carrying his friend, stepping forward, creating a full atmosphere.

Even more impressive, NB2 can maintain a high degree of character consistency.

Uploading a back view image and asking it to create a turning shot, the result shows the two-dimensional female protagonist's hair and accessories highly restored

In the Japanese anime "One Piece," Kaido, NB2 is also in control. Especially when compared to NB1, the effect is even more pronounced.

The healing style of the multi-person scene, with bookshelves, handmade desserts, blackboard menus, lazy cats, and other small details is captivating.

From Ghibli-style to spirited youth, Nano Banana 2 can truly produce anime directly from plain text.

Cyberpunk style is also not a problem, such as a cyberpunk robot hacker in a futuristic high-tech environment, facing multiple monitors to operate.

prompt: Cyberpunk hacker robot working in front of many monitors

There are also netizens generating a cartoon-style starting chessboard:

Currently, it is not perfect, but such high-quality generation results have left users who have tried it feeling very, very surprised.

Handwriting Comparable to Real People, Forged Surveillance Footage

Unexpectedly, Nano Banana 2 passed the tests of "clock" and "full glass of red wine" in one go within a single image.

AI can finally see clearly what it is drawing.

Writing on a blackboard, the handwriting style is almost indistinguishable from AI-generated.

There is also impressive Arabic handwriting.

Even more astonishing, it can generate surveillance footage images, and it's just as easy to share a frame with Musk.

Some netizens had a creative idea, envisioning a glass hamburger, with reflections, textures, and transparency all spot on.

Perfectly turning the entire ocean pink, accurately reflecting light on every ripple.

The accuracy is simply unbelievable.

An American netizen also used it to Photoshop their car, exclaiming "almost perfect," definitely top-notch.

Paint car with really nice airbrush of presidents of US and text about them NB2 can still generate promotional images for Mercedes-Benz cars with one click.

Comparison Before and After Nano Banana Upgrade

Nano Banana 2 is really powerful!

Kotovskiy found a very interesting example, the performance of Nano Banana 2 far exceeds the previous generation.

Prompt: Danganronpa court with all characters, cinematic official art

The task requires a scene of all characters from the "Danganronpa" series in court, maintaining the official cinematic style illustration.

Here is the result generated by the new version:

This is the old version:

In abstract art, Fix posted multiple comparison images of the new and old versions of Nano Banana:

Abstract is truly abstract, let's take a look together????:

As of the time of publication, the NB2 entry on the Media IO platform is closed. Next, we just wait for Google's release.
