Google released new experimental image-generation capabilities for its Gemini 2.0 Flash model

Google released new experimental image-generation capabilities for its Gemini 2.0 Flash model, letting users upload, create, and edit images directly from the language model without requiring a separate image-generation system.

The details:

A 2.0-flash-exp model is available via API and in the Google AI Studio with support for both image and text outputs and editing via text conversation.
Gemini uses reasoning and a multimodal foundation to maintain character consistency and understand real-world concepts throughout a conversation.
For instance, you can prompt it to generate a story with pictures and then guide it to the perfect version through natural dialogue.
Google says Flash 2.0 also excels at text rendering compared to competitors, allowing for ads, social posts, and other text-heavy design generations.

This upgrade is a major step in shifting how AI generates visual content — moving away from dedicated image models toward language models that natively understand both text and visuals. Just as natural language prompting has taken over other domains, image editing appears to be next on the list.
