Gemini Nano Banana 2.1
Google lists the stable model ID gemini-nano-banana-2.1, improved text and visual quality, reference-image support, and a fix for extreme-ratio stitching artifacts at 2K and 4K.
The model card outlines intended uses, internal evaluations, and limitations. Small text, long paragraphs, character consistency, precise edits, and spatial reasoning still need careful review.

The launch report explains the announced quality and consistency changes and rollout across Google's products. It adds launch context rather than an independent benchmark of the model.
Coverage focuses on the AI Mode rollout in Google Search and links to statements from Google and Robby Stein. Availability can depend on the service and rollout stage.
