NanoBanana 2 Leaks & Flux 2.0 Arrives!

Description

Let's peel back the latest leaks around Google’s Powerful Nano Banana 2 — or should we say GemPix 2?

Plus: new 3D camera angle tools from Freepik, Leonardo’s workflow revolution, and why node-based interfaces might be here to stay. And yes… plenty of banana puns. You’ve been warned.
