Nano Banana Pro and 2.1, read against Google's dated lines
This register carries no Nano Banana line: it files video models' notes, and Nano Banana is named on Google's plan pages as one of Flow's models rather than as a line with dated entries of its own. What the register does hold is Google's two video lines, Veo and Gemini Omni, and the days each changed. As of 2026-10-13.
1What this register already holds
The register's entries for Google's two video lines, in date order, with the days the same model reached other makers' platforms among them. Each line is dated by the note it comes from.

2What the register holds for Google's lines
Google's video record here runs on two lines, because the maker keeps them apart. Veo's fifteen entries begin with Veo 2 becoming generally available in the Gemini API on 9 April 2025 and include sound arriving with Veo 3 on 17 July 2025, extension with up to three reference images and first-and-last frames on 15 October 2025, 4K output and portrait video at every resolution on 13 January 2026, and Veo 3.1 Lite released as a lower-cost tier on 31 March 2026. Gemini Omni's five entries are newer and shorter: a Flash preview on 30 June 2026 with three to ten second clips at 720p that can be edited in conversation, and a 1.1 Flash generally available on 27 August 2026 with extension, first-and-last-frame input and output from 360p to 4K.
The same change often lands on the Gemini API changelog and on Vertex AI's release notes on different days, and the register keeps each entry where it landed rather than merging them. That is the habit a reader should expect from these notes, and it is also why a version question is answered here by dates rather than by a feature list.
3Why an image model has no line here
A line is listed in this register when its maker publishes dated notes for a video model, or when a platform lists its versions and dates them. Nano Banana does not meet either test as the pages stand: the register carries no dated entry for it, and the name appears in this material on Google's own plan page, where it is listed among the models Flow runs beside Veo 3.1 and Gemini Omni, not as a line of its own.
So the version question behind this page cannot be answered from the register, and the register does not pretend otherwise. What it can offer is the surrounding record: which Google video lines changed on which days, and how the maker writes those days down. A reader comparing an image model across two versions will find the maker's own pages doing that work, and the register is explicit about the edge it stops at.
4What the threads carry for the name
The name was counted in the material at 3,283 posts and 375 comment mentions over the window, with 77 posts positive and 17 negative — a large tally for a model this register files no line for. The two posts quoted below ask why an unlimited allowance stopped and whether the model can make video at all.
The first is a plan question, of the kind plan pages answer and changelogs do not; the second is about what a model is for, which is settled by the maker's product pages rather than by any dated note. Neither is a version comparison, which is worth saying plainly: the search this page answers is more common in autocomplete than in the threads.
5The makers' own pages
| Maker | What its own pages state | What an account starts with | Read on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Flow | Google's models: Veo 3.1 (native audio), Nano Banana, Gemini Omni; an agent and Scenebuilder | Free with a Google account: 50 daily credits | 2026-10-13 |
| SceneMixer | “SeedDream 5.0 Pro renders sheets at 2K and reads the whole of a description.” | No note on the pages read | 2026-10-13 |
Inclusion rule. Rows are the makers this page reads, each on its own public pages, plus one pipeline this register follows. A cell carries that maker's own wording for the point; a page that does not take the point up is written as unstated rather than read as a denial. Order. Alphabetical by maker name.
| Read for each of the three | Google Veo, in this register | Gemini Omni, in this register | Google Flow, on its own pages |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the line is dated | Two Google changelogs, the Gemini API's and Vertex AI's | The Gemini API changelog, plus platforms announcing arrivals | No dates: a plan page read on 13 October 2026 |
| What the notes say about sound | Sound generated with the picture from Veo 3 on 17 July 2025 | Not stated in the entries held | Veo 3.1 is listed with native audio |
| What the notes say about frames | Extension and first-and-last frames with Veo 3.1 on 15 October 2025 | First-and-last-frame input in the 1.1 Flash note on 27 August 2026 | Not stated on the page read |
| Where the models are listed together | Not stated: each line is filed on its own | Both Omni entries sit beside Veo entries on the same changelog | Veo 3.1, Nano Banana and Gemini Omni are named in one line |
Inclusion rule. Cells are what each page or note states, taken from the entry or page filed under it. A point the entry does not cover is written as unstated rather than carried over from a sibling line. Order. The order the lines take in this register, with the plan page last.
6What the threads were counted at
One name with a large tally and no dated line here. The posts below ask about an allowance and about what the model is for.
| Name | Posts | Comment mentions | Positive | Negative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nano Banana | 3283 | 375 | 77 | 17 |
Inclusion rule. Names the collection counted and that this page is about. The tallies come from the same posts, so a post arguing with itself can land in both columns. Order. Descending by posts.

7When the other maker's notes answer better
- The question is which day a feature landed — Google's entries date each step on the changelog it reached, from sound in July 2025 to a lower-cost tier in March 2026.
- The comparison is between two versions of one model — The maker's own pages carry that comparison, and the register records no dated entries for the image line at all.
- A newer Google line has to be weighed — Gemini Omni's five entries from June 2026 are filed separately from Veo's, so a change that touches one line does not read as a change to the other.
