Gemini's 'Nano Bananas' AI Image Editing Is Fun, but I Ran Into Too Many Slipups

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-13 01:00:03

I've been trying out the image editing capabilities in Google's latest generative AI model, and you can, too. Named Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, it upgrades the ability to edit your photos natively in Gemini. AI enthusiasts have referred to it as the "nano bananas" model, spurred on by a series of teasers from Google execs. Google has been investing heavily in its generative media models this year, dropping updated versions of its image and video generator models at its annual I/O developers confere

Circle to Search Is One of My Favorite AI Tools. Shame It's Not on the iPhone Yet

Every time I use an iPhone, I lament that it doesn't have one of the most practical mobile AI tools: Google's Circle to Search. Until that feature comes to the iPhone -- and I really hope it does soon -- I don't think most people will realize just how useful it can be.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority At Google I/O 2017, Google showed what quickly became one of its most infamous product teases in history: removing a chain link fence from a picture of a child playing baseball. The pitch was that we would soon be able to remove pesky fences automatically from our pictures with the help of computer vision, and it looked like magic. While Google Photos would eventually get object removal for more obvious photo distractions like garbage cans and photo-bombers,

Around six years ago, a new rallying cry rippled through Washington: “Break Up Big Tech.” It was a slogan emblazoned on campaign posters, uttered at congressional hearings, and beginning, it seemed, to echo through the halls of the nation’s antitrust enforcers.
