@vgabeur Excellent work Valentin! Thanks for pioneering this!

Introducing Vision Banana🍌: an image generator that achieves SOTA on segmentation, depth prediction, and surface normal estimation 🚀 🖼️Project page: vision-banana.github.io 📜Technical report: arxiv.org/abs/2604.20329 🧵👇

@songyoupeng @GoogleDeepMind Excellent work Songyou!

Yay, finally! Introducing Vision Banana🍌 from @GoogleDeepMind, our unified model that outperforms SoTA specialist models on various vision tasks! By treating 2D/3D vision tasks as image generation, we unlock a new foundation for CV. Project page: vision-banana.github.io (1/5)

@ShangbangLong Excellent work Shangbang!

🚀 Excited to announce Vision Banana 🍌 and our new paper: “Image Generators are Generalist Vision Learners”. We turn Nano Banana Pro into a state-of-the-art visual generation and understanding model. 🖼️ Check out our gallery at vision-banana.github.io 🧵 (1/N) continue ⬇️

@KeranRong You did some good early work on this :)

From my old team at Google DeepMind (GDM) — Gemini multimodal just launched a whole new paradigm for computer vision using unified diffusion models! 🔥 (I am in the acknowledgement list haha!)

Meet Vision Banana 🍌 from @GoogleDeepMind! We provide strong evidence that image generators are generalist vision learners. Traditional computer vision tasks (segmentation, depth estimation, normal prediction) can now be performed at/near SOTA with a single generalist model derived from an image generation model. 🖼️ Explore the results: vision-banana.github.io 📄 See details at: arxiv.org/abs/2604.20329

@jerryjliu0 Hi Jerry what prompt and inference setting are you using? I'm using the prompt: "first read the rows of the table line by line, and then try to parse the entire table image into an html" with default media resolution and thinking level high, and the result looks quite different

I tried out Gemini 3 Pro on document parsing tasks 📄🤖 Tl;dr it’s pretty good at general visual understanding, but still can’t one-shot tables (and qualitatively seems worse than some other models at table understanding) A great addition to any document OCR toolkit, especially for specialized visual understanding, but would need the surrounding pipeline to be a standalone document parsing solution. I tried on high media resolution, low thinking, directly in AI studio 🧵

@jerryjliu0 Hi Jerry what exact prompt and settings are you using? I am trying this particular image with prompt "first read the rows of the table line by line, and then try to parse the entire table image into an html" with default resolution and high thinking, the result is different.

1️⃣ Test: my favorite random document, the Caltrain schedule Gemini 3 Pro messes up the overall column alignment (see 805 and 109 as the most obvious mistakes). It is strikingly worse than some of the Sonnet models at being able to comprehend the table structure

@bkurmtime469 Every B737 has it... it is for air pressure sensors...
