Leaked Preview of Google’s Nano Banana 2 Reveals Advances in Realism, Text Rendering, and Physical Reasoning

Google has not set a release date for the model.

Overview

  • The early build, labeled GemPix2, briefly appeared on Media.ai before being taken down, with sample images spreading widely according to testingcatalog and IT Home.
  • Leaked outputs show precise in-image text rendering and convincing simulations of full browser and desktop interfaces generated from scratch.
  • Tests highlight progress on tasks requiring physical logic, including img2img reconstruction of a ball’s trajectory and improved adherence to detailed constraints.
  • The model demonstrates stronger image repair and complex color editing capabilities, pointing to higher visual fidelity and better instruction following.
  • Some samples resemble surveillance-style footage, and testing notes indicate these capabilities might be reduced before any public release.
