This is the gpt 4 moment for image editing models. Nano banana aka gemini 2.5 flash is insanely good. It made a 171 elo point jump in lmarena!

Just search nano banana on Twitter to see the crazy results. An example. https://x.com/D_studioproject/status/1958019251178267111

Alarming hands on the third one: it can't decide which way they're facing. But Gemini didn't introduce that, it's there in the base image.

Yes, the base image's hands are creepy.

I noticed the AI pattern on the sunglasses first. I guess all of the source images are AI-generated? In a sense, that makes the result slightly less impressive -- is it going to be as faithful to the original image when the input isn't already a highly likely output for an AI model? Were the input images generated with the same model that's being used to manipulate them?

It doesn't seem to matter: people have posted tons of examples on social media of non-AI base images that it was equally able to hold steady while making edits.
