Nano Banana, an exceptional AI image generating and editing tool by Google which actually changed the way we used to generate and edit our photos.

Everyone knows the accuracy and the stunning results of Nano Banana that how perfectly and neatly understands the prompt and edit images, change the angle of camera, remove objects, or even change the overall scene. And the good news is, it’s upgraded and more powerful version has been launched.

Let’s see by ourselves that what the Pro version of Nano Banana has in it by not only generating the image form it, but comparing it with the older version of Nano Banana.

To do so, we won’t use Nano Banana pro in Gemini or Google AI Studio, but in LM Arena, where we get options to battle, direct chat & side by side comparisons of latest and powerful models all at one place.

So, Let’s get started.


Key Takeaways:

  • Nano Banana Pro is the new, smarter version of Google’s image AI. It understands hard prompts and chain task much better than the old version.
  • You don’t need a paid subscription to try it; you can use the “LM Arena” website to test it for free.
  • The Pro version is much better at fixing specific details, like removing fat or changing small objects, without ruining the rest of the photo.
  • The best way to see the difference is to put the old and new models next to each other and run the same prompt.

7. Now it’s time to write your prompt. Either write a prompt and generate an image, or you can upload an image by clicking on that “+” icon. I have uploaded an image of a baby, and wrote the prompt which can be seen in the image. Once you are done with all these things, hit enter. And then your generation will take place.

Step 8 - The AI Tutorials

8. Here are the results from both of the models. If we look closely, Nano Banana’s old version didn’t remove the fat from the baby’s cheek as asked in the prompt, while Nano Banana Pro perfectly did it. So for me, Nano Banana Pro is actually more intelligent from the previous ones in understanding the prompt, getting the context, and not forgetting the things asked in the prompt.
