About the model

This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.

Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image model. Its role is rapid visual exploration and text-to-image work. The published profile accepts text and image inputs and can return images and text, making a written brief and visual source material part of the same creative request.

#### A clear brief for the visual result

Describe the subject, composition, medium and destination of the image. A product illustration can specify the object, viewpoint, background and space needed for surrounding layout. A scene can identify the setting, the main action and the details that establish its mood. Keep the few relationships that define the picture clear before adding decorative detail.

When visible wording matters, supply the exact words and their hierarchy. State which line should lead and how it relates to the main subject. Review spelling, labels and spacing in the returned image at the size where it will be used. A visual concept becomes useful when its content can be checked against the brief.

#### Identify the role of an image input

Tell the model what a supplied image contributes to the request. It may establish the subject, a visible arrangement or material the new visual should take into account. Name the details that matter so the reference does not become an unexplained part of the brief. Keep the source image with the returned result when comparing the requested change or visual direction.

#### Carry the selected image into the next step

Inspect the actual artifact for the intended subject, framing, important text and relationship between elements. Preserve the successful brief, references and chosen result together. For a series, retain the recurring subject and visual terms in later requests, and compare the resulting images for continuity before combining them in a finished layout.

The useful deliverable is the returned visual or accompanying text from this exact Lite profile. Export dimensions, file format and accepted controls follow the image interface used; keep the artifact’s actual properties with it when preparing placement or further editing.

Practical task

### Explore a product illustration

Technical example in English

```
Explore a product illustration

Create a clean editorial illustration of a reusable steel lunchbox, lid open at a three-quarter angle, with two compartments visible. Use soft daylight, a warm off-white background and restrained sage accents. Place the lunchbox in the lower-right area with generous empty space at upper left for a website heading. Include no lettering or logos.
```

#### Expected result

```
An image concept showing the open two-compartment lunchbox, warm background and clear upper-left layout space.
```

#### Check the result

```
Inspect the actual image for two visible compartments, the requested placement and absence of lettering or logos.
```

### Receive and save results

#### Ailoot · Images

Download each returned image or save its Base64 contents

- `GET /v1/media/tasks/{task_id}`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}/content`
- `GET /v1/media/assets`
- `GET /v1/media/assets/{asset_id}`

##### Keep all completed results

Save every completed image; retrieve each returned URL or decode its Base64 contents.

Save every data item. Decode each b64\_json or fetch every returned signed URL. Select a filename extension from the actual MIME/bytes.

##### If the original response needs checking

If an image generation or edit result requires a check, keep the original operation\_id/X-Client-Request-ID and returned result information. Recover existing owned results through the media library using actual task\_id or asset\_id values. Do not resubmit the generation/edit request or construct a polling URL from operation\_id.

Response fields

| Field | Type |
| --- | --- |
| Field`created` | Typeinteger |
| Field`data[].url` | Typestring |
| Field`data[].b64_json` | Typebase64 string |
| Field`usage` | Typeobject |

Errors and next steps

| Response | Condition | Next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Response400 · `invalid_request_error` | ConditionInvalid required fields, material representation or parameter value | Next stepCorrect the indicated fields before a new creation request. |
| Response`server_error` | ConditionThe returned response says the operation or result requires a check | Next stepKeep the original returned operation/task ID, request headers and response; continue supported reads of that original operation. Do not resubmit the creation request. |

### Pricing

##### How the final charge is calculated

The displayed rates estimate the cost before generation. The final charge is calculated from the cost recorded for the original generation. Measured output duration and forecast quantities are not the final billable quantity.

Tariff references do not add request options. Supported parameters are listed for the selected method.

Fast mode

Not specified When fast mode is selected

Flex mode

Not specified When flex mode is selected

Maximum reasoning effort

Not specified When maximum reasoning effort uses the default adjustment

#### Estimated rates for comparison

#### Prices by configuration

Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

| ConfigurationEstimated generation cost | Rate schedule— | Forecast quantityone generation estimate | Charge Output · Estimated generation cost · Estimate for comparison only **$0.24576** estimate before generation This estimate is not an additional charge or a fixed rate for the completed generation. |

```

##### Keep all completed results

Save every completed image; retrieve each returned URL or decode its Base64 contents.

Retain the complete response and headers, every actual output, original returned identifiers and all usage fields. Recover the original operation without submitting creation again.

##### If the original response needs checking

Keep the returned X-Client-Request-ID for reconciliation. Read only actual returned task\_id/asset\_id values or the owned media library; never build a task URL from the operation ID and never resubmit creation.
