Google Signals Nano Banana 2 Lite Image Model and Gemini Omni Flash Video Model

Google has signaled the arrival of "Nano Banana 2 Lite," an ultra-fast, low-cost image generation model, and "Gemini Omni Flash," a video generation model that supports step-by-step conversational editing. The trigger came on June 30, 2026, when Logan Kilpatrick, who leads Gemini and AI Studio, posted an emoji-only message, which developers read as a teaser hinting at an imminent release of both models. No official press release or blog post has confirmed the launch yet, so it is being treated as a hint from an insider.
