# Gemini Image Generation and Non-Streaming Mode Support 🎨

From August through September, LobeHub expanded Gemini-related capabilities across image generation, response behavior, and model coverage. The goal was straightforward: make newer Gemini workflows easier to run in production while keeping your provider options open.

## More ways to generate images

This release adds support for Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Imagen 4 GA, alongside coverage for Nebius, AkashChat, and BFL. Azure OpenAI can now also handle image generation requests.

The new non-streaming response mode is useful when you need complete responses before displaying them—think batched processing, structured outputs, or integrations that expect synchronous results.

Use these updates to:

- Generate images through Gemini models directly in chat
- Switch between streaming and complete response modes based on your use case
- Route image requests to newer providers as they become available

## Model library additions

The model library now includes GPT-5 series, Claude Opus 4.1, Grok Code Fast 1, DeepSeek V3.1, and the Gemini URL Context Tool for grounded retrieval.

## Improvements and fixes

- Improved reasoning scroll mask effect
- Added hotkeys for switching sessions
- Enhanced mobile form controls
- Refined Gemini error messaging
