Inside Nano Banana 🍌 and the Future of Vision-Language Models with Oliver Wang - #748

Today, we’re joined by Oliver Wang, principal scientist at Google DeepMind and tech lead for Gemini 2.5 Flash Image—better known by its code name, “Nano Banana.” We dive into the development and capabilities of this newly released frontier vision-language model, beginning with the broader shift from specialized image generators to general-purpose multimodal agents that can use both visual and textual data for a variety of tasks. Oliver explains how Nano Banana can generate and iteratively edit images while maintaining consistency, and how its integration with Gemini’s world knowledge expands creative and practical use cases. We discuss the tension between aesthetics and accuracy, the relative maturity of image models compared to text-based LLMs, and scaling as a driver of progress. Oliver also shares surprising emergent behaviors, the challenges of evaluating vision-language models, and the risks of training on AI-generated data. Finally, we look ahead to interactive world models and VLMs that may one day “think” and “reason” in images. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/748.
