From quirky artwork to viral memes, Nano Banana has quickly carved out a reputation as one of Google’s most engaging and accessible AI features.
But the hype reached new heights when none other than Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang the man often hailed as the driving force behind the AI hardware revolution expressed his delight for Nano Banana.
Jensen Huang’s Excited Reaction
At a recent event in London, the leather-jacket-wearing billionaire couldn’t hold back his admiration for the AI tool. In true Jensen style, he shared his enthusiasm with the crowd:
“How could anyone not love Nano Banana? I mean Nano Banana, how good is that? Tell me it’s not true!” Huang exclaimed, according to Wired.
He went further, adding, “It’s so good. I was just talking to Demis [Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind] yesterday and I said ‘How about that Nano Banana! How good is that?’”
His excitement not only drew laughs from the audience but also highlighted how even industry titans are getting swept up in the Nano Banana craze.
Sundar Pichai’s Lighthearted Response
The praise didn’t go unnoticed. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, reacted with humor and delight to Huang’s remarks. Nicole Brichtova, who works at Google DeepMind, first posted about Huang’s comments on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“Jensen Huang being a nano banana fan made my day.”
Pichai then reposted her message, simply adding: “Mine too.”
The short but sweet response from Pichai quickly gained traction, with thousands of views and comments pouring in. It was a rare glimpse of the usually composed Google CEO sharing in the internet’s playful energy.
Social Media Reactions
As expected, social media users had plenty to say about the unusual tech moment. Many joined in celebrating Nano Banana’s impact and functionality:
One user remarked, “There is not enough appreciation to go around. Not even close. We try anyway.”
Another cheekily asked, “Sundar, what comes after Nano Banana?”
A third praised its performance, noting: “The most impressive aspect of Nano Banana is its exceptional cost efficiency compared to other image models. And thank your engineers for that because it's been an absolute hit and the servers are still running smoothly.”
Others kept it simple: “Thank you for Nano Banana. It is revolutionary.”
And another added, “Nano Banana worked in a mighty way, people are going mad.”
It’s clear that the AI model has struck a chord far beyond the tech community, resonating with creators, developers, and casual users alike.

Huang’s enthusiasm for Nano Banana aligns with his broader belief in the potential of AI tools to make everyday life more productive and creative. In an earlier interview, he explained how he integrates AI into his workflow:
“I really like using an AI word processor because it remembers me and knows what I’m going to talk about. I could describe the different circumstance that I’m in and yet it still knows that I’m Jensen, just in a different circumstance.”
He added, “In that way it could reshape what I’m doing and be helpful. It’s a thinking partner, it’s truly terrific, and it saves me a ton of time. Frankly, I think the quality of work is better.”
The Bigger Picture
While the exchange may seem lighthearted, it reflects a larger trend in AI adoption tools like Nano Banana are not just technological breakthroughs, but also cultural phenomena. When tech leaders like Huang and Pichai engage with these innovations on a personal level, it signals how deeply AI is embedding itself into both the professional and creative spheres.
From industry giants to everyday social media users, Nano Banana’s popularity underscores how AI is no longer confined to labs and developers it’s part of mainstream conversations and even internet humor.
