Tech giant Google has been releasing a series of AI ( artificial intelligence) announcements. )Model.
On November 20th local time, Google's image generation model Nano Banana received a major update three months after its initial release. Nano Banana Pro, built on Google's latest large-scale model Gemini 3 Pro, was officially unveiled. At the same time, Google provided users with a simpler digital watermarking feature. Verification methods to improve the transparency of AI content.
According to reports, Nano Banana Pro can "turn users' ideas into studio-quality designs with unprecedented control, improved text rendering, and enhanced world knowledge." It not only features upgrades in detail, image resolution, and text rendering accuracy, but also generates text in different styles, fonts, and languages.
First, Nano Banana Pro's text rendering capabilities have been significantly improved. Combined with multimodal understanding capabilities, the model can directly translate text in images into other languages while maintaining the original design style.

In addition, local editing capabilities have been improved, and internet search functionality has been added. Users can select, optimize, and adjust any part of an image, adjust the camera angle, change focus and color grading, and even change scene lighting. Nano Banana Pro can generate images with resolutions up to 2K and 4K and supports aspect ratio adjustment.
Nano Banana Pro has also achieved significant improvements in consistency, now supporting up to 14 input images while maintaining consistency in generated results even in complex scenes. The model can also maintain consistency and similarity among up to 5 individuals in the generated results.

Meanwhile, Google announced that users will be able to directly use Gemini to determine whether an image was generated by Google AI. Google stated that all media generated by Google tools are embedded with the SynthID digital watermark , and users can now easily check whether an image was generated by Google AI by uploading it to the Gemini app. This verification method will soon be extended to audio and video.
Nano Banana Pro is now available in the Gemini app, with free users having a limited number of uses before reverting to the Nano Banana model. Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers enjoy a higher usage limit. The model is also available starting today in the design software Adobe Photoshop and Firefly.
Upon its release, the Nano Banana Pro, like the Gemini 3, received a warm response. Two days prior, Google officially released its next-generation multimodal AI. The Gemini 3 model includes two versions: Gemini 3 Pro and the enhanced inference mode Gemini 3 Deep Think. Trained on Google's TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), this model not only swept major benchmark charts but also demonstrated the consistent advantages of the Gemini series in the multimodal domain.
In the AI race, Google has been striving to catch up with OpenAI. Analysts point out that the competition between the two companies has intensified with the release of Gemini 3. A week ago, OpenAI released GPT-5.1, making ChatGPT "smarter, more conversational, and easier to customize." On November 19th, OpenAI unexpectedly released GPT-5.1 Pro and the code model GPT-5.1-Codex-Max.
At the launch of Gemini 3, Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that there are currently 2 billion users per month using AI Overviews (Google Search's AI Overviews feature), and the Gemini app has surpassed 650 million monthly users.
On November 20, affected by the general market decline, Google (Nasdaq: GOOGL) fell 1.03% to close at $289.98 per share, with a total market capitalization of $3.49 trillion. Year-to-date, Google's stock price has risen by more than 50%.
