Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) is suddenly not available as an image model on the website. I can still use the model in the app, but only if I copy the settings from prior creations that used Nano Banana. What is the problem?

Hello ​@unique_reliability83a9,

Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) has been scheduled for retirement by Google and is no longer available as a selectable model in the Firefly web interface. The official deprecation date is 10 September 2026, which was yesterday. 

The behaviour you describe — still being able to use it in the app by copying settings from prior creations — is likely a temporary side effect of the phased removal process and should not be relied upon going forward.

This is documented on Adobe’s Generative AI model retirement page: Generative AI model retirement

Gemini 3.1 (Nano Banana 2) and Gemini 3 (Nano Banana Pro) remain available as replacement models and are visible in the model picker.

As ​@droopydog500 mentioned, they drop and add new models to make things better for the user.
