Same results here, seems like a hidden price increase, hopefully they will still keep 2.5 running for some time.

These models will open so many new possibilities for 3d workflows. Reminds me of a few years ago when I wad beta testing Stable Diffusion and realising it was going to change the way people design, visualize and present things forever. These models feel similar (if they work as advertised). I tested the first version of the World Labs model and it was OK but quite limited (quality of reconstruction, type of inputs and outputs) this one feels like a big breakthrough happened, and the model is probably much bigger. Looking forward to test it.
Re:Nano Banana 2 Lite on Wednesday July 01, 2026 @09:56AM (#48746880)
Please do write about it, there are still definitely people interested.

I have also have noticed that GPT Image 2 is very good and has a great cost/result ratio compared to other models, specially using the low version which can cost 0.01 and is usually good enough for many use cases. I completely replaced Nano Banana for most of my workflows because I'm using API and the cost adds up. I still haven't tried Nano Banana 2 Lite but the price may be hard to justify, although the speed bump sounds good.

Hunyuan 3.1 is very good and you should try it if you haven't, has great resolution, topology and textures are messy, but things are moving so fast that I think these issues will be solved in the next couple of years.
Can you comment a bit on your setup? Sounds interesting.

Love the samples of the app you are making, will be testing it!
They are using Flux Kontext from Black Forest Labs, fantastic model.
