Yeah I've definitely noticed subtle coloration changes with Seedream / Qwen 20b as opposed to Nano-Banana. OTOH, Qwen is capable of accomplishing edits that Nanobanana can't handle. [1] Nanobanana has a strong tendency to just return the exact image back to you in those cases. So it's a bit of a pick your poison issue. I think it comes down to your use-case. If your intent is professional studio grade photograph manipulation then NanoBanana is your best bet. Otherwise Seedream and honestly Qwen are both perfectly servicable.

Information on the internals of Nano-Banana seem to be pretty sparse. Do you have a source for this?
