Banana 2 Lite: Fast 1K Images at 2 GP
Banana 2 Lite is now available in the Banana 2 model menu. It is the fastest, most cost-effective Banana 2 path for high-velocity 1K image generation and editing, priced at 2 GP per image for launch.
- •Choose it from Banana 2 Open the Banana 2 submenu and switch between Standard and Lite without leaving the composer.
- •Built for fast 1K iteration Lite keeps the canvas at 1K, so drafts, text-to-image ideas, and light edits can move faster.
- •Launch price: 2 GP Every Banana 2 Lite image is shown as 2 GP before generation.
- •Cleaner parameter set Lite exposes the standard ratios it supports and hides the 512, 2K, 4K, and extreme-ratio controls from Standard.
- •Keep Standard for bigger finishes Use Banana 2 Standard when you need higher resolution, broader ratio coverage, or final polish.

Pose Control Upgrade: Faster Extraction, Steadier Poses
Pose is now faster and easier to use directly from the image composer. Extract a Pose from an uploaded image, place it in a dedicated Pose slot, and guide body position without mixing it into ordinary references. Each extraction now costs 2 GP instead of 5 GP, a 60% reduction, with extraction speed expected to improve by 80%.
- •Quick Pose extraction Upload an image directly in the image composer and turn it into a Pose without visiting Profile first.
- •Lower extraction cost Each Pose extraction now costs 2 GP instead of 5 GP, a 60% reduction.
- •Faster processing Pose extraction is expected to be 80% faster, so trying multiple body positions takes less waiting.
- •Dedicated Pose slot Pose now lives in its own slot instead of mixing with ordinary reference images, making attach, replace, and remove actions clearer.
- •Steadier pose control The composer uses Pose more clearly for body posture, action, and hand gestures, while reducing accidental influence from face, outfit, or background details.
- •Works with Precise Reference When Precise Reference is on, Pose affects generation only when you explicitly mention it with @Pose. Keep it mounted and choose when it should guide the result.

Precise Image References for the Image Composer
Image prompts can now point to a specific reference image. Type @ to choose a mounted image, keep Precise Reference off when all attachments should still be used, or turn it on when only the mentioned images should guide the result.
- •Type @ to pick a reference image The menu shows your mounted images with stable Ref labels, so the prompt can point to the exact image you mean.
- •Off keeps the familiar behavior All attachments are still used, and @ only tells the image model which reference you want to emphasize.
- •On turns the tray into a precise queue Only mentioned images are used, in the order they appear in the prompt.
- •Clearer prompt handoff LocalBanana rewrites @ mentions into Reference image 1, Reference image 2 wording before generation, so the model reads natural instructions.

Seedance 2.0 Adds 2160p 4K and a Faster Mini Option
Seedance now has two clearer creative lanes in LocalBanana: Standard goes up to 2160p for polished final clips, while Mini keeps 480p/720p fast and low-cost for drafts. Both are priced about 30% cheaper than the official list, with GP shown before generation.
- •Standard now reaches 2160p Use the main Seedance 2.0 path when a shot needs sharper detail, cleaner product frames, or a more finished export look.
- •Mini is the fast low-cost lane Choose Mini for quick prompt tests, social drafts, and motion exploration in 480p or 720p without paying full Standard or real-face pricing.
- •The same creative flow stays in place Prompts, reference images, reference videos, reference audio, and sound all stay inside the same Seedance composer experience.
- •About 30% cheaper than official pricing The GP price is shown before you run it, so you can compare quality and cost without reading a pricing table.

Midjourney Is Now in LocalBanana
Hi everyone! Midjourney is now inside LocalBanana. Pick it beside Banana and GPT Image, describe the world you want to explore, and keep the whole creative flow in one familiar place.
- •Midjourney has a distinct creative feel. It is especially good for cinematic scenes, stylized characters, surreal fashion, painterly worlds, and images where mood matters as much as accuracy.
- •One prompt gives you four directions. Use it when you want to compare composition, atmosphere, and visual language before choosing where to continue.
- •Image prompts are supported. Add references when you want Midjourney to follow a stronger subject, look, or atmosphere.

A Thousand Tastes, A Thousand Feeds
LocalBanana is defining A Thousand Tastes, A Thousand Feeds: every creator reads the gallery through a different visual taste, so the home feed should learn those differences instead of showing one universal order.
- •Definition A Thousand Tastes, A Thousand Feeds means every signed-in creator can receive a feed shaped by their own recent visual taste, instead of one global order for everyone
- •Behavior-Based Learning Opens, saves, prompt copies, and creation actions will help shape future recommendations
- •Relevant Results First Similar and related images will be prioritized as the system learns your preferences
- •Fresh Work When Relevance Is Close When two images are similarly relevant, newer creations will get priority
- •Recent Taste Carries Forward New sessions will be able to inherit your latest interest direction instead of starting cold
- •Gradual Rollout Personalized recommendations will open progressively as we continue tuning quality and feedback

LocalBanana now has a visual Copilot for image search: upload a reference from the gallery search bar and let it read the style, mood, composition, color, and content, then pull similar visual directions from the whole library. It is a powerful new way to search by taste, not just by words, and free accounts can try it with a daily image-search quota.
- •Upload From Search The gallery search bar now includes an image-search button. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP and we will search the full gallery for similar visual directions

GPT Image 2 Stability Update: More Room to Create
We improved GPT Image 2's generation path for better stability and tuned moderation to low, so prompts have more creative room with fewer unnecessary blocks. Safety checks still apply, but Image 2 should now feel faster, steadier, and more open to expressive ideas.
- •More Stable Image 2 We tuned GPT Image 2's generation path to reduce flaky failures and make the model feel steadier during busy periods
- •Moderation Tuned to Low We lowered moderation sensitivity so more creative prompts can go through with fewer unnecessary restrictions while safety checks remain in place
- •More Possibilities Portraits, design explorations, stylized concepts, and richer visual directions should now have more room to shine. We hope you make something brilliant with it

GPT Image 2 Is Live: Pick Your Model, Remix Anything, Drag to Find Similar Art
GPT Image 2 now runs side-by-side with Nano Banana. Pick the right model for each prompt, browse by studio, remix any gallery piece with one click, and drag a box over any image on the redesigned detail page to pull up visually similar work from the whole gallery.
- •GPT Image 2 OpenAI's image model now runs side-by-side with Banana Pro and Banana 2. Pick the model from a dropdown in the composer; the parameter panel adapts to show only what each model supports (aspect ratio for Banana, fixed sizes for GPT Image)
- •Model Pricing GPT Image uses platform Ghost Points and does not support BYOK. Three sizes are available: 1024×1024, 1024×1536, and 1536×1024
- •Studios & Model Badges Every gallery card shows which model created it. Filter the full gallery by model pills (Banana / GPT Image), or drop into one of three dedicated studios: Cosplay, Portrait, Design
- •Drag to Find Similar Art On every gallery piece, draw a box over any part of the image and we pull up visually similar work from the whole library: a different brush, a different palette, the same mood. The detail page itself has also been redesigned with a calmer, more gallery-like layout; click any chip to jump back to the composer with the remix pre-filled
- •One-Click Remix "Remix" replaces "Use prompt" everywhere. Click it from any card, overlay, or detail page, and the composer opens with the exact prompt, reference images, model, aspect ratio, and size pre-filled

Design System Phase 5+6: A Snappier, More Consistent App
Months of quiet infrastructure work shipped together: consistent UI across every page, Apple-style soft corners, and a broad sweep of performance and security wins. If the app feels snappier and more put-together lately: this is why.
- •Consistent UI Across Every Page Buttons, chips, inputs, cards, and list rows now look and feel the same from home to gallery to profile to blog. No more accidental style drift between pages
- •Crisper Borders, Livelier Hover Borders a touch sharper so cards stand out; hover states a touch brighter so interactive elements feel alive. Small individually, noticeable in aggregate
- •Apple-Style Soft Corners Sidebar search, dock buttons, and the rest of the app now share the same soft "squircle" corner shape. Small thing, big polish
- •Design-System Drift Protection An automated check now catches any one-off styling that bypasses the design system, so the consistency we just shipped won't quietly erode over time
- •Favorites Tab Loads ~10× Faster The favorites tab on your profile is dramatically quicker to open, especially on slow connections
- •Faster Image Delivery Worldwide Gallery thumbnails now come off a global CDN, so scrolling stays snappy no matter where you are
- •Home Page First Paint, Sooner The home page now loads gallery content in parallel with startup checks, trimming the time before you see something useful
- •Security Hardening Stronger anti-spoofing protection at the auth layer and tighter anti-fraud gates on the image-generation endpoint. You shouldn't feel it: that's the point
- •Today / Week / Month Tabs Actually Differ Now On the Top filter, the three time-window tabs used to return nearly identical results. They now show genuinely different leaderboards

Profile Page Optimization: Faster Loading, Smoother Carousel, Better Error Handling
Profile page now loads significantly faster with lazy initialization and code splitting. The generation carousel no longer stutters when clicking arrows. Upload failures are handled gracefully with retry options and error feedback throughout.
- •Lazy Tab Loading Wardrobe, Poses, and Creations tabs now load data on-demand when you first visit them, instead of all at once on login. Cached data is shown instantly while fresh data loads in the background
- •Code Splitting Heavy components (WardrobeView, PoseView, GenerationView, Onboarding) are dynamically imported. Smaller initial bundle means faster first paint
- •Carousel Fix Resolved stuttering and flickering when clicking left/right navigation arrows in the generation carousel. Fixed competing GSAP animations and consistent animation cleanup across all input methods
- •Error Recovery All profile tabs now show a friendly retry button if loading fails. Upload failures no longer leave orphan "processing" cards: items are cleaned up or marked as error with clear feedback
- •Smarter Upload Tracking Processing items stay visible during your current session but are automatically cleaned up on page refresh. Stale uploads older than 10 minutes are auto-repaired
- •Toast Feedback Like, unfavorite, and delete operations now show toast notifications on failure with automatic state rollback, so you always know what happened

Ever had this happen? Same content, different scene, and suddenly the colors drift, skin tones go warm then cold, the mood never quite lands.

- •How to Use: Open Copilot and mention you want a Fuji look, Copilot will automatically recommend the best film simulation for your current prompt. Or specify directly: "I want Classic Chrome" or "give me Nostalgic Neg"

LocalBanana Copilot (Beta) - The First Prompt Agent That Knows Beautiful
From idea to image: without figuring out prompts. The path used to be long: writing prompts, trial and error, going back and forth between different AI models. Now, we've shortened that path to just one sentence. LocalBanana Copilot is a prompt agent that understands your aesthetic, so you can focus on creating beauty, not studying prompts.
- •0 → 1 Generation: Tell Copilot what you want, style, character, atmosphere, lighting, scene, it generates a ready-to-use, standardized prompt instantly
