Nano Banana - ByteSpike

Vendor: Google Model ID: nano-banana Capability: 1024² · photorealism · studio lighting · material accuracy Pricing: per image, photoreal tier (live rate) Nano Banana is Google’s entry photorealistic image generator. Reach for it when the brief reads “studio lighting, glass surfaces, anatomical correctness” and the Seedream family’s illustrative aesthetic would fight your direction. For higher fidelity with extended post-processing, see Nano Banana Pro; for the latest iteration with improved text rendering, see Nano Banana 2.
