Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview 09-2025

Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response.

Nano Banana 2.1 (Gemini Nano Banana 2.1) is Google's image generation and editing model on the Flash tier, succeeding Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro. It improves product recontextualization, mask- and ink-based editing, and factual accuracy, and renders photorealistic skin tones, detailed materials, lighting, and coherent backgrounds. It accepts text and image inputs, returns images with optional text, and supports 1K, 2K, and 4K output plus extended aspect ratios via the image_config API Parameter.

Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is a speech-to-text model from Google. It is suited for synchronous transcription that needs word-level timestamps or speaker diarization, with support for up to eight speakers. Audio can be up to one hour, or 30 minutes when timestamps or diarization are enabled.

Gemini 3.8 Flash Lite TTS is a text-to-speech model from Google and the fast, high-throughput member of the 3.8 TTS family alongside Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS. It is suited for conversational voice-agent pipelines, high-volume read-aloud, and voice replication workloads where latency and cost matter more than maximum expressiveness.

It accepts the same speech configuration as Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview, including the 30 prebuilt studio voices, and supports Google's Voice Design and Voice Replication through voice_... identifiers.

Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS is a text-to-speech model from Google and the successor to Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview. It is the creative tier of the 3.8 TTS family, suited for narration, character work, and multi-speaker dialogue where voice fidelity, acting nuance, and regional dialect coverage matter more than latency.

It accepts the same speech configuration as its predecessor, including the 30 prebuilt studio voices, and supports Google's Voice Design (custom voices from a text description) and Voice Replication (voices cloned from a short sample) through voice_... identifiers.

Gemini 3.8 Flash is Google's most intelligent Flash model with significant gains from 3.7 Flash across software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning.

Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is Google's fastest, most cost-efficient Gemini image model, built for high-velocity developer pipelines and rapid-fire visual exploration. It delivers text-to-image generation in roughly 4 seconds — about 2.7× faster than Gemini 3.1 Flash Image — while keeping the character consistency, precise editing, and real-world knowledge of the Nano Banana family.

A single drop-in API handles text-to-image, image editing, and multi-image composition. As a multimodal model it also returns text alongside images. Outputs are generated at 1K resolution across 14 aspect ratios and carry an invisible SynthID watermark so they can be identified as AI-generated.

Positioned as the best balance of quality and speed in the Nano Banana 2 line, it lets you generate thousands of images at a fraction of the cost of heavier production models — ideal for prototyping, real-time apps, and visual workflows at scale.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, a.k.a. "Nano Banana 2," is Google’s latest state of the art image generation and editing model, delivering Pro-level visual quality at Flash speed. It combines advanced contextual understanding with fast, cost-efficient inference, making complex image generation and iterative edits significantly more accessible. Aspect ratios can be controlled with the image_config API Parameter

Nano Banana Pro is Google’s most advanced image-generation and editing model, built on Gemini 3 Pro. It extends the original Nano Banana with significantly improved multimodal reasoning, real-world grounding, and high-fidelity visual synthesis. The model generates context-rich graphics, from infographics and diagrams to cinematic composites, and can incorporate real-time information via Search grounding.

It offers industry-leading text rendering in images (including long passages and multilingual layouts), consistent multi-image blending, and accurate identity preservation across up to five subjects. Nano Banana Pro adds fine-grained creative controls such as localized edits, lighting and focus adjustments, camera transformations, and support for 2K/4K outputs and flexible aspect ratios. It is designed for professional-grade design, product visualization, storyboarding, and complex multi-element compositions while remaining efficient for general image creation workflows.

Gemini Embedding 2 is Google's first multimodal embedding model. We currently support mapping text and images into a unified vector space for semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It supports input context up to 8,192 tokens and flexible output dimensions from 128 to 3,072 (recommended: 768, 1536, or 3,072). Designed for cross-modal similarity — you can embed a text query and retrieve the most relevant images, or vice versa — making it well-suited for multimodal search, recommendation, and document understanding pipelines.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google's high-efficiency multimodal model, bringing near-Pro level coding and reasoning at Flash-tier cost and speed. It is highly optimized for coding proficiency and parallel agentic execution loops, supporting text, image, video, audio, and PDF inputs.

Defaults to medium thinking effort for faster and more cost-efficient responses, with full support for thinking levels (minimal, low, medium, high) for fine-grained cost/performance trade-offs.
