GLM 4.5 Air (free) vs Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview)

GLM-4.5-Air is the lightweight version of our newest flagship model family, designed specifically for agent-focused applications. Like GLM-4.5, it uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, but with a smaller parameter footprint. GLM-4.5-Air also supports hybrid inference modes, including a "thinking mode" for deeper reasoning and tool usage, and a "non-thinking mode" for real-time interactions.

Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) is Google DeepMind’s flagship Flash image model for high-fidelity generation and fast, advanced editing at scale, optimized for price–performance. It follows complex prompts more reliably and adds configurable thinking levels (Minimal vs High/Dynamic) to balance latency and quality. Nano Banana 2 improves in-image text rendering and supports in-image localization (generate/translate text across languages directly in the image), while leveraging stronger world knowledge and web image search for more grounded, realistic outputs. It supports native aspect ratios (including 4:1, 1:4, 8:1, 1:8) and 512px/1K/2K/4K resolutions.
