Google DeepMind's Vision Banana unifies AI generation and perception

Google DeepMind researchers have developed Vision Banana, a model built on Nano Banana Pro that handles visual tasks by translating images into other images. This approach forces the model to generate pixels, which in turn imparts an understanding of 3D geometry and depth. Consequently, Vision Banana demonstrates superior performance in zero-shot segmentation and depth estimation compared to specialized models. AI
