Vercel Adds Google's Nano Banana 2 Lite Image Model to AI Gateway

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Vercel ·

Vercel's AI Gateway now supports Google's Nano Banana 2 Lite, a fast image generation model that outputs images in under 4 seconds. The model costs $0.034 per 1K images, roughly half the price of its predecessor. It supports multimodal generation and editing across multiple turns.

Meridian48 take
The price drop is notable, but the model's performance in real-world applications will determine if it's a true breakthrough or just incremental improvement.
