Designing Batch Image Costs with Nano Banana 2 Lite: Decide by Measuring

How to fold the fastest, cheapest image model, Nano Banana 2 Lite, into high-volume generation: measuring per-image cost, a two-tier setup with a quality model, and retry handling grounded in real numbers.

Putting Gemini image generation to work: from prompt design to thumbnails generated from video

A practical playbook for running Gemini image generation as a repeatable workflow instead of a lucky dip. From decomposing prompts into reproducible parts to the video-to-image automation unlocked by the Nano Banana 2 GA, with working code, a pre-publish quality gate, and a design that survives preview shutdowns.
