J'utilise Nano Banana Pro récemment. La version Pro gère les prompts plus complexes avec des résultats plus nets. Toujours basé sur Gemini. Parfait pour l'art conceptuel sans configuration locale.
Been using Nano Banana Pro for AI image generation recently. The Pro version handles more complex prompts and delivers sharper results — still powered by Gemini under the hood. Great for concept art and style experiments without any local setup.
