🚨 NanoBanana 2 is coming… and OpenAI’s still quiet. Google’s new image model is reportedly just around the corner and it’s looking fast. Like 10-seconds-per-image fast. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s last major image model drop was almost half a year ago, and that one still takes roughly 15 seconds per render. Sure, OpenAI’s output feels more “modern” or “stylized,” but NanoBanana’s edge? Accuracy. The results are closer to what you actually prompt for. If Google really nails this next iteration, it could set a new benchmark and honestly, I think it’s time for OpenAI to respond. The creative AI race is heating up again, and the gap’s starting to show.
