New blog post up: I spent a lot of time researching Nano Banana, Google's new generative AI model, and not only is it substantially better than ChatGPT, it is capable of taking extremely nuanced prompts even thousands of tokens long to generate exactly what you want. minimaxir.com/2025/11/nano...
Nano Banana can be prompt engineered for extremely nuanced AI image generation
Nano Banana allows 32,768 input tokens and I’m going to try to use them all dammit.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.
