Both are available via Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Developers can chain the two models together — using Nano Banana 2 Lite for rapid image generation and passing results to Omni Flash for video animation. Three demo apps (Anywhere, Space Lift, Omni Product Studio) illustrate end-to-end workflows. Current limitations for Omni Flash include 10-second max video length and no audio reference support yet. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
