Nano Banana & Qwen: The New KINGS! Try them FREE!

The speaker introduces two new free AI image editors: Alibaba's Quen ImageEdit and the mysterious Nano Banana, highlighting Quen first. Quen ImageEdit is open-source, allowing local or platform-based use. It is tested through various examples: converting a gun into a banana, removing objects like hair strands from plates, colorizing black-and-white images, and performing complex edits such as rotating characters or transferring styles. Quen excels at maintaining visual consistency while handling both low-level and high-level semantic edits. Additionally, it demonstrates impressive bilingual text-editing capabilities, producing accurate translations and realistic text incorporation into images. Real-world demonstrations include anime-style transformations, character turnarounds, tributes to designer Joe Caroff, and fashion magazine-style edits. Overall, Quen ImageEdit proves effective at precise visual modifications, though occasionally outputs overly stylized or artificial-looking elements.

Nano Banana emerges as a mysteriousQuen ImageEdit overview new AI image editor, speculated to be developed by Google. It demonstrates powerful reference-based editing, capable of combining multiple inputs such as characters, carsJSON code correction, and outfits into coherent results. Accessible via the LM Arena battle page, Nano Banana is tested through side-by-side comparisons with other models, showing its superior ability to follow prompts and maintain scene coherence. Its standout feature is generating alternative camera angles and cinematic shots from a single input image, effectively simulating multi-camera film coverage. Examples include sci-fi dystopia scenes rendered with different perspectives and realistic photo edits like removing crew members from behind-the-scenes Kubrick photography. While highly capable, occasional inconsistencies, such as subtle pose shifts, appear in certain generations. Despite these, Nano Banana often outperforms competitors like Quen and GPT Image models in realism, prompt coherence, and stylistic consistency.

Further testing Nano Banana, the speaker examines its ability to preserve facial accuracy, style, and scene coherence. It successfully inserts the creator into a cinematic spy setting and maintains stylistic consistency across animated scenes by rotating characters while keeping them visually coherent. This raises speculation that Nano Banana may be tied to Google’s Gemini 3 or upcoming imaging technologies, possibly integrated into future Pixel devices. Its classification as a 'nano' model hints at potential use in on-device editing. While awaiting confirmation at Google’s upcoming event, the creator underscores Nano Banana’s impressive abilities and positions it as a potential game-changer in real-time or mobile-based AI image editing. The section transitions into a sponsored segment on Notion AI, showcasing how it can enhance AI filmmaking workflows by providing organization, task management, and creative support through integrated AI-powered features.

The final section pivots to Notion AI, where the creator demonstrates how it can function as a creative and production hub for AI filmmaking. Notion AI assists with meeting notes, project organization, character development, creative world-building, and task management, even generating production schedules and visual task boards. Its integration allows creative ideas (like fantasy cities and character backstories) to remain connected across a knowledge base while also handling logistical details like calendars and deadlines. After the sponsorship, attention shifts to Cling 2.1’s 'first frame, last frame' feature, which enhances visual storytelling by enabling better start/end frame handling, a key upgrade for animation and film sequences. Finally, 11 Labs introduces a 'video to music' feature, which generates contextual background music from uploaded videos. While not on par with professional composers, it produces genre-appropriate audio that complements video content. The segment concludes with optimism about ongoing innovation in AI creative tools and excitement about future updates.
