Context
33k tokens
The 32,768 token context window is unusually small even for a budget model — verify this limit hasn't changed before deploying in production. The 'Nano Banana' name appears to be an internal or experimental identifier; confirm model availability and stability via Google AI Studio or Vertex AI before relying on it in critical workflows.
