Google's NanoBanana 2 Lite makes image generation near-instant
Google shipped a faster image model generating pictures in under four seconds from ~$0.034 per 1,000 images, above the original NanoBanana on quality. Cheap, fast image generation pressures incumbents on high-volume creative work.
Midjourney's first video model animates generated images with its signature aesthetic, priced accessibly. Watch how it stacks against Runway and Veo for short-form creative work.
