Case in point, the final image in this post (the IP bonanza) took 28 iterations of the prompt text to get something maximally interesting, and why that one is very particular about the constraints it invokes, such as specifying "distinct" characters and specifying they are present from "left to right" because the model kept exploiting that ambiguity.
Hey! The author, thank you for this post! QQ, any idea roughly how much this experimentation cost you? I'm having trouble processing their image generation pricing I may just not be finding the right table. I'm just trying to understand if I do like 50 iterations at the quality in the post, how much is that going to cost me?
All generations in the post are $0.04/image (Nano Banana doesn't have a way to increase the resolution, yet), so you can do the math and assume that you can generated about 24 images per dollar: unlike other models, Nano Banana does charge for input tokens but it's neligible.
Discounting the testing around the character JSON which became extremely expensive due to extreme iteration/my own stupidity, I'd wager it took about $5 total including iteration.
