Google mejora generación de imágenes con Gemini 3.1 Flash Image más rápido y consistentePor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoGoogle lanza Nano Banana 2, nuevo modelo de imágenes con más velocidad, texto preciso y hasta resolución 4KAyer hablábamos del nuevo Samsung Galaxy S26 y de cómo integra inteligencia artificial de Google. Hoy vamos a mirar otra pieza de ese mismo ecosistema. Google acaba de lanzar Nano Banana 2, que en realidad se llama Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. Es el nuevo modelo para crear imágenes con inteligencia artificial dentro de la app Gemini, en el buscador y hasta en herramientas de edición de video como Flow.¿Qué cambia frente a la versión anterior? Google promete más velocidad, mejor seguimiento de instrucciones y mayor coherencia cuando aparecen varios personajes en la misma imagen. Además, puede generar imágenes desde 512 píxeles hasta resolución 4K. Y eso abre preguntas importantes: ¿es realmente mejor que Nano Banana Pro? ¿Qué pasa con otras opciones como Midjourney, DALL·E o Firefly?Pero más velocidad trae nuevas dudasNano Banana nació en agosto de 2025 y se volvió viral. En solo cuatro días atrajo a 13 millones de usuarios nuevos a la app Gemini. Para octubre ya había generado más de 5.000 millones de imágenes. Luego llegó Nano Banana Pro en noviembre, con mejor calidad y más control en el texto dentro de las imágenes.Ahora Google combina lo mejor de ambos mundos. Nano Banana 2 usa la arquitectura Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. “Flash” significa rapidez. La idea es generar imágenes casi al instante, pero manteniendo buena calidad. Google dice que puede conservar la identidad de hasta cinco personajes en una misma escena y respetar hasta 14 objetos diferentes sin que cambien de forma o estilo en cada intento. Eso es útil para crear cómics, storyboards o campañas publicitarias donde los personajes deben verse iguales en cada imagen.También mejora la escritura dentro de las imágenes. Por ejemplo, si haces una tarjeta de cumpleaños o un anuncio con texto, ahora las letras salen más legibles y con menos errores.El problema es que cada vez es más difícil distinguir una imagen real de una creada por inteligencia artificial. Herramientas como Nano Banana 2 pueden producir paisajes, retratos y escenas con iluminación realista y texturas muy detalladas. Según encuestas citadas por CNET, la mayoría de personas cree haber visto imágenes hechas con IA, pero menos de la mitad se siente segura de poder identificarlas.Esto afecta redes sociales, campañas políticas, publicidad y hasta tareas escolares. Además, existe el debate sobre derechos de autor. Empresas creativas y estudios de cine han expresado preocupación por el uso de imágenes que podrían basarse en obras protegidas.Google intenta responder a esto con marcas de agua invisibles llamadas SynthID y con credenciales C2PA, un estándar que permite verificar si una imagen fue generada con IA y cómo se creó. Pero esa verificación funciona mejor cuando el contenido viene directamente de herramientas de Google.Al mismo tiempo, la competencia no se queda quieta. OpenAI tiene DALL·E y el generador de video Sora. Midjourney sigue siendo fuerte en arte estilizado. Adobe Firefly apuesta por integración directa con Photoshop y herramientas profesionales. Cada plataforma tiene ventajas distintas en estilo, control o integración empresarial.Nano Banana 2 ya está reemplazando a las versiones anteriores dentro de la app Gemini. En los modos “Fast”, “Thinking” y “Pro” ahora se usará este nuevo modelo por defecto. Los usuarios de planes pagos como Google AI Pro y Ultra podrán seguir accediendo a Nano Banana Pro desde un menú adicional cuando necesiten máxima precisión factual.También se integra en Google Search, en el modo IA y en Google Lens, en 141 países. Está disponible en navegadores de escritorio y móviles, y en herramientas como AI Studio, Vertex AI en Google Cloud y Google Ads. Incluso en Flow, la plataforma de edición de video de Google, ahora es el generador de imágenes predeterminado.La apuesta es clara: Google quiere que la generación de imágenes sea rápida, cotidiana y conectada con información en tiempo real desde el buscador. Eso puede ayudar a crear infografías, diagramas educativos o visualizaciones de datos más exactas.La gran pregunta es si esta velocidad masiva va a aumentar el volumen de imágenes artificiales circulando en internet. Y también si los usuarios aprenderán a verificar lo que ven antes de compartirlo.Nano Banana 2 permite elegir diferentes proporciones de imagen. Puedes crear formato cuadrado para Instagram, vertical para historias o panorámico para pantallas anchas. La resolución máxima es 4K, que equivale a 3.840 por 2.160 píxeles. Eso significa más de 8 millones de píxeles en una sola imagen.Otra mejora es el uso de “conocimiento del mundo” en tiempo real. El modelo puede consultar información actualizada desde el buscador para representar lugares o conceptos con mayor precisión. Por ejemplo, si pides una imagen de un museo específico, puede basarse en referencias visuales reales.En el contexto del Galaxy S26 que mencionamos ayer, esto muestra cómo Google está fortaleciendo todo su ecosistema de IA. El teléfono, el buscador, la app Gemini y las herramientas en la nube comparten modelos cada vez más potentes.Para quienes crean contenido, esto significa menos tiempo editando y más iteraciones rápidas. Para educadores, puede facilitar la creación de material visual didáctico. Para empresas, abre nuevas opciones en publicidad digital automatizada.Pero siempre habrá alternativas. Midjourney suele destacar en arte conceptual. DALL·E se integra con ChatGPT. Adobe Firefly apuesta por entornos profesionales con licencias más controladas. Elegir dependerá de qué necesitas: velocidad, estilo artístico, integración empresarial o control legal.Nano Banana 2 combina rapidez y calidad en la generación de imágenes con IA dentro del ecosistema Google. Mejora texto, coherencia de personajes y resolución hasta 4K. La competencia sigue fuerte y el debate sobre autenticidad continúa.

Send a textA rapper in a Honda Civic just outplayed the internet. We break down how J. Cole's trunk-sold CDs, city-to-city drop-ins, and breadcrumb clues turned casual listeners into dedicated hunters—and why more than 200,000 people still crushed a single presale queue. The story isn't just hype; it's a blueprint for connection in a noisy era. When an artist hints this might be the last “J. Cole” album for a while and then shows up in person, the stakes change. Scarcity turns into urgency, and presence becomes the product.We dig into the album's grip and a tantalizing what-if: Cole bar-for-bar over outside producers like Alchemist and 9th Wonder. Would a fully external soundscape unlock a new chapter? The conversation widens into the Big Three debate, where craft, persona, and promotion all collide. Cole's rollout didn't chase spectacle—it built trust—while still driving record physical sales and impossible queues. We swap stories from the field, including a near-miss sighting tracked with Google Lens, and the white-knuckle hunt for tickets, VIP shock included.Culture never sits still, so we push further. Jill Scott's new album shines, Floetry's reunion sparks nostalgia questions, and a left turn to Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) reminds us why some worlds never age: strong stakes, moral weight, and style that still punches. We also unpack the latest streaming shuffle with Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. content sliding to Tubi, plus a spirited tier list of game franchises—Fallout, Mass Effect, The Sims, Dragon Age, Wolfenstein, Halo, The Witcher—to test what truly endures. Hit play for a fast, thoughtful ride through music, fandom, and the mechanics of staying power. If this run is Cole's last lap for a while, it's a masterclass in how to finish strong. Subscribe, share with a friend, and tell us: where does Cole rank for you right now? https://www.carolinaotakus.com/

El SEO visual para Google en 2025 se sostiene en la utilidad y el contexto: una imagen no debe ser solo bonita, debe contar una idea clara y dejar respuestas a la vista. Para lograrlo, conviene subir fotos originales y nítidas, con 1–2 ángulos útiles y en contexto real, y acompañarlas de un pie que diga qué es y para quién. Junto a la imagen, añade una mini lista con medidas, colores y materiales, y si vendes, el precio y el plazo de envío. La imagen principal debe ir arriba para cargar rápido, y conviene crear una guía visual con preguntas y respuestas cortas para posicionarse por ideas, no solo por productos.Un caso práctico de una tienda de plantas ilustra el enfoque: fotos tomadas con el móvil, fondo limpio, una mano para dar escala y un pie claro con datos como “luz baja, riego cada 7 días, altura 30 cm”; además, un mini cuadro de cuidados y el precio en euros, más una guía visual de plantas para poca luz. Los resultados: más apariciones en búsquedas de imágenes y en Google Lens, mayor tiempo en la página y un incremento de visitas desde móvil. La acción clave es simple: actualiza la imagen principal de tu página más visitada, añade un pie explicativo y un bloque corto con tres datos junto a la imagen, y colócala en la posición más destacada. Si la foto no explica, no es una imagen: es un acertijo que alguien ya resolvió. ¿Listo para probarlo?Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/seo-para-google--1693061/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com
Most people spend over 30 hours a year dealing with customer service—on hold, repeating account numbers, and navigating endless phone trees. But what if AI could fix that without losing the human touch?Clay Bavor, co-founder of Sierra (now valued at $10B) and former VP at Google, joins us to explore how AI agents are reshaping how companies interact with customers and what that means for the most complex service industry in the world: healthcare.We cover:
Robby Stein is VP of Product at Google, where he oversees the core products of Google Search—including the new AI Overviews, AI Mode, search ranking, Google Lens, and more. Previously, he led consumer products at Instagram, where he and his teams built Stories, Reels, Close Friends, and other key features now used by billions.What you'll learn:1. Why Google's AI products are suddenly taking off after years of perceived stagnation2. How AI is expanding Search rather than replacing it, contrary to what many predicted3. The three core product principles that have helped Robby build multiple billion-user products4. Inside Instagram's decision to build its own version of Snapchat Stories5. His mantra of “relentless improvement”6. How Google developed AI Mode from concept to launch in just one year7.

n their latest "MobileViews 574" podcast, hosts Todd Ogasawara and Dr. Jon Westfall navigated through significant tech news and offered practical advice. A notable development discussed was the discontinuation of AOL's dial-up internet access on September 30, 2025, marking the end of an era for the once-pioneering service. The conversation also touched upon Microsoft's decision to retire its Microsoft Lens app from iOS and Android devices, effective September 15, 2025, with full support ending November 15. Todd, who uses Lens to de-skew photos of doodles and whiteboards, is now seeking alternatives, with suggestions including Microsoft 365 Copilot app, OSS Document Scanner, Genius Scan, and Google Lens. This led to a humorous digression about the differing "personalities" of AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini. Shifting to essential tips, Dr. Westfall provided a comprehensive "back-to-school tech roundup" for students. Key recommendations included USB drives with encrypted partitions for secure and compatible file transfer, and small thermal printers such as the Phomemo M04AS for quick, inexpensive prints like QR codes or notes. A Belkin 2-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Charging Dock was suggested for convenience, supporting iPhone's StandBy mode. For car-owning students, a portable jump starter (like the NOCO Boost GB40) and a mobile tire inflator (such as the DENVIX Tire Inflator) were highlighted as essential safety tools that also function as power banks and lights. Practical, inexpensive items like a packable rain hat (e.g., Soxbang Waterproof Bucket Rain Hat) and a towel were also recommended for unexpected weather. Finally, both hosts emphasized the critical need for a backup plan for all critical technology, leveraging cloud storage and considering extended warranties, along with the "three-day rule" for assignments to mitigate stress. This last point was underscored by observations about some students' reluctance to even use two-factor authentication for campus email due to perceived inconvenience.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1069: Trump eyes higher auto tariffs and axes California's EV rules, Google quietly gains ground with Gen Z shoppers, and an AI-generated NBA Finals ad shows how fast, cheap, and creative the future of advertising can be.Show Notes with links:In a high-energy speech, President Trump proposed raising auto tariffs and celebrated a legislative rollback of California's EV mandates — a double-down on his strategy to protect domestic auto manufacturing and consumer choice.Trump suggested raising auto tariffs above the current 25% level to encourage automakers to produce more vehicles domestically.He pointed to GM's $4 billion investment in U.S. plants as a positive result of existing tariff policies.The President signed legislation last week that rolls back California's zero-emissions vehicle mandate, which would have banned new gas car sales by 2035.Dealer and manufacturer groups applauded the repeal, arguing it protects affordability and nationwide regulatory consistency.“Customers don't want the government telling them what kind of car to buy,” said John Bozzella, CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation.Eleven states, led by California, have filed a legal challenge against the repeal, calling it an overreach that undermines state-level emissions standards.Google is making gains with Gen Z shoppers, chipping away at Amazon's dominance in product search.

Using Google's Veo 3 and a lean workflow, one filmmaker delivered a national commercial at a fraction of traditional production costs.AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo produced a 30-second TV spot for betting platform Kalshi in just two days using Veo 3 and Gemini.His process involved AI-assisted scripting, iterative prompt generation, and rapid video output, yielding 15 usable clips from 300–400 generations.The entire production cost came in at roughly $2,000 — a 95% reduction from traditional ad budgets.Editing was done with tools like CapCut and Premiere, allowing fJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Send us a textSpring is here—and so is our new weekly podcast format! We're now alternating between fun episodes for kids and a new segment, “AI Kids Scoop,” where we break down what's happening in AI and education.After a recent trip to Seoul, I saw just how powerful AI can be—using ChatGPT to plan, Google Lens to read menus, and Translate to chat with locals. It's a reminder that AI is here now, and our kids need to learn how to use it wisely.Our inaugural AI Kids Scoop covers groundbreaking developments in the AI education landscape. Google recently announced Gemini AI access for children under 13 through supervised accounts, while governments worldwide are racing to implement AI literacy programs. The US President signed an executive order advancing AI education, China mandated annual AI classes for all students, and the UAE plans to introduce AI concepts to children as young as four years old.The private sector is responding with innovative offerings like Blue Whale AI Academy's summer camp for ages 5-12 and Buddy AI's language learning app designed specifically for children. Perhaps most fascinating is ABii, an AI-powered robot from the University of South Carolina that uses facial recognition to provide "empathetic tutoring" tailored to students' emotional states.While these developments are exciting, we emphasize the continued importance of adult supervision, critical thinking, and creativity.

The Bacon Podcast with Brian Basilico | CURE Your Sales & Marketing with Ideas That Make It SIZZLE!
One of my all-time favorite jokes is about babies... "How many babies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" "None - they neither have the cognitive or motor skills to perform such a task!" You could imagine a baby holding a lightbulb and trying to insert it into a lamp or socket. But if you wanted to see it, you could log into an AI image generator to create one. AI opens some interesting conundrums about the use of images. Who owns the copyright? What if you use a well-known person? Can you be sued? Images are assets. These assets can be bought and sold. What once was a free image that you picked up from free image sites like Pixabay or Pexels can be sold to a paid-for library. Those libraries can use tools like Google Lens or a metadata search to find that specific image. At this point, I feel safe creating images with Firefly because I have a paid account with Adobe for their creative suite and their Stock Images (two different accounts). I would not be as confident using anything I am not paying for. Even if you win the battle, you are spending your time trying to ward off what I consider an attack.
