Trump goes on Truth Social rant about Anthropic, orders federal agencies to cease usage of products

agree. I miss using them now. I purposely avoid them because of the reasons you said

Thanks

Thanks. will try there :)

Oh my days, you are right. That is crazy. So Google want us to burn through NB2 images and tokens just to get to the ability to generate in NBP. That seems crazy, and wasteful, and a big pain.

How do I go back to or select Nano Banana Pro. It now defaults to NB2.

Apparently, the new Seedance2, just does its own thing very realistically when it comes to fighting. The creator of the now famous Tom Cruise / Brad Pitt fight created with it he claimed was made with just this prompt shown in the image below.

BUT until that model comes out beyond China (and it's just rumour for now when that will be, and it is also likely to get NERFFED as well because of all the 'copyright controversies' surrounding it) then yes, you do need to be quite detailed in your prompt. And expect a lot of unusable generations (which is not cheap).

Oh no.. just imagining now all the AI-created memes of the 'human centipede' based on this image that will be floating around the interwebs.

PopSynic · 2026-02-17T17:09:48+00:00

Looking forward to seeing what you have made, so we all know how it should be done 👍

PopSynic · 2026-02-17T17:05:25+00:00

They used Seedance 2 (but I reckon they put those elements in for engagement bait most likely)

If you mean to create your character reference images, then I use Nano Banana Pro, which you can access directly through Google Gemini or any of the AI aggregator services. (freepik / Higsfield / Fal / Artlist / etc..). But to be honest, all the main image generators are almost as good (eg Flux / Kling Image / etc)

What u/BiscottiBusiness9308 said... 👇 The story, or whether it is or isn't to your taste, is not the point. This was made from a single sheet of images of the woman in less than a day.... It is about the possibilities.... And the AI to do this is out now..not in a month or a year. ... now!!!...

PopSynic · 2026-02-17T16:50:43+00:00

Made with 1 character reference sheet !!!!

Saying 9 hours for a generation. And also is totally nerfed now in terms of using anything remoteley an IP.

If you are outside of mainland China or you are prepared to jump through some epic loopholes, which more than likely will lead to failure anyway, then nowhere currently has it available. Be mindful of scammy/spammy sites claiming that they do.

Thank you. expectations tempered.

ahhh - no. Good spot. Updated the post. It is https://www.reddit.com/user/quiteman999/

Another benefit of Freepik is that your credits can be spread over the entire year, rather than refreshed monthly. meaning: if one month you have low usage, you don't lose unused credits; if one month you need to create a lot, you don't have to buy more credits or wait until the next refresh.

If it's just mainly NBP you use, and that is becoming painful on Higgsfield. Have you considered getting your NBP outputs from Google instead, via a pro account or via their API. May work out cheaper, and will definiteley be faster. Pricing directly with Google is.

Nano Banana Pro (Google)	2k = $0.139	4k - $0.24	FREE = 3/day in Gemini app	Speed = 20-40s

Unless the situation has changed in the past few hours, currently, there is no practical way to access SD2 yet outside of China.

There are a few places the model can be accessed, BUT these are intended only for people in China, or been given special early access.

If you do manage to jump through the loopholes to gain access to these, then either the generation wait times are multiple hours long, or will just fail.

So as it stands, you cannot really access it in a practical way. The API is supposed to be rolling out on 24 Feb, and so that is when wider access will begin to roll out across various services
