Nano Banana Pro: raw intelligence with tool use
- Google released Nano Banana Pro (gemini-3-pro-image-preview), a new AI image generation model.
- Nano Banana Pro excels in general intelligence, tool use, and creating complex scenes with less hallucination.
- It can use Google Search and Maps to gather data and reason visually through "thought images."
- Pushing infographic and map generation to new frontiers, enabling visually rich and factually accurate images.
- Can create detailed photorealistic images based on complex, multi-element prompts.
- Not reliable for electrical circuit designs yet, as it may produce erroneous circuit diagrams.
- Human intelligence still surpasses it in domain-specific tasks like accurate circuit design.
- Nano Banana Pro is seen as a game changer in practical, production-ready AI image generation.
- Tool use enables more factually accurate and data-driven generated images than previous models.
- Benchmarking AI image generation quality still needs development for production use assessment.
- The community is impressed with Nano Banana Pro's nuanced prompt following and image creation capabilities.
