image editing

Google has begun broadly rolling out Pics, its AI image generation and editing app built on Nano Banana, to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers plus Business and Enterprise Workspace plans. The app supports object segmentation, text translation in 29 languages, and 4K upscaling, with direct integration into Docs and Slides.

SenseNova has released SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT, an open-weight native multimodal model built on its NEO-unify architecture for image generation, editing, and native 4K output. The model is available on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, with no inference pricing yet since it must be self-hosted.

Microsoft has released Mage-Flow, a 4B-parameter open-weight foundation model for text-to-image generation and instruction-based editing. The company claims it matches or beats much larger open systems like Qwen-Image (20B) and FLUX.2 (32B) while running faster and using less memory.
