Reducing Costs For At-Scale Infographic Generation Using Nano Banana Pro

Kalev Leetaru

Our infographic experiments to date have focused on exploring the limits of what Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro can produce for high quality infographics when using GCP's most advanced models. Of course, these advanced models come with substantially higher per-token prices than GCP's smaller and cheaper models. While it is clear that Nano Banana Pro is required for high-quality infographic production (Nano Banana results are just not the same quality and have substantial text rendering limitations), it is less clear what minimal model is required to transform a day of media coverage into the infographic prompt provided to Nano Banana Pro. Our other production workflows today deploy Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking due to their optimal quality-price ratio for our specific use cases. Could Gemini 2.5 Flash allow us to produce high-quality infographic prompts that are roughly equivalent to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Pro? No data was used to train or tune any model in these experiments.

The results below are intriguing. We can trade off an expensive distillation model (converting the transcripts into infographic prompts) for a cheaper image generation model or use a cheaper distillation model with an expensive image generation model. Given that we are distilling vast amounts of information into a smaller number of infographics and also want to be able to fit more material into the context window for larger-scale comparative analyses, it is likely better to use a cheaper distillation model and more expensive image model. Each workflow yields slightly different emphases in the resulting infographic. One clear finding is that the distillation prompt should explicitly request that the infographic be thematically structured: 2.5 & 3 Pro do this without explicit instruction, whereas 2.5 Flash seems to require that additional instruction. It is clearly possible to distill down the original raw transcripts into vastly smaller surrogates, whether a 2- or 10-page distillation or a story catalog, meaning that full-day transcripts can be compressed substantially small enough that it becomes possible to fit many resulting days into Gemini's limited context window at once for larger at-scale comparative analyses.

One unexpected finding is that there seems to be some connection between Nano Banana Pro's textual quality and the model used to create the infographic generation prompt for it.

Let's start with having Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Pro transform the complete December 6, 2025 transcript of Russia Today (transcribed by Chirp ASR) into an infographic prompt.

Create a prompt for a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached broadcasts as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the major themes and trends and findings. Focus on the combined story of the report. The poster should be entirely in English.

Let's start by using Gemini 2.5 Flash to distill the day of coverage into an infographic prompt and render the resulting prompt via Nano Banana, which reconfirms that we will need to use Nano Banana Pro for all of our visualizations.

GEMINI 2.5 FLASH + NANO BANANA:

GEMINI 2.5 PRO + NANO BANANA:

Now we'll use Gemini 2.5 Pro to make the prompt for Nano Banana. Interestingly, even though we are still using the same less-capable Nano Banana model, the quality of the results are noticeably better than from the Gemini 2.5 Flash prompt. This suggests that the base Nano Banana model requires more of the synthesis and reasoning to be performed by the prompt creation model.

GEMINI 3 PRO + NANO BANANA:

Now let's have Gemini 3 Pro make the prompt for Nano Banana. Again, same base model, but this time the results are vastly improved. This suggests an interesting tradeoff: we can use the cheaper image generation model if the infographic prompt generation model is more advanced. However, given that we are distilling vast amounts of information into a smaller number of infographics, it is likely better to use a cheaper distillation model and more expensive image model.

GEMINI 2.5 FLASH + NANO BANANA PRO:

Notice how even the cheaper distillation model produces quite reasonable results using the more expensive image model.

 

GEMINI 2.5 PRO + NANO BANANA PRO:

GEMINI 3 PRO + NANO BANANA PRO:

The complete 24-hour-long RT transcript consumes 235,478 tokens, meaning that we could load at most four days of coverage into Gemini at once for analysis. What if we have Gemini 2.5 Flash distill it down to a 2-page highlights? Would that summary be comprehensive enough to allow us to generate infographics of similar quality and coverage?

Summarize the attached broadcasts into a 2-page summary that contains all of the key stories, details, themes, etc. Summary should be entirely in English regardless of source language.

This yields:

This document summarizes the content of various broadcasts, primarily from RT (Russia Today) and India Today, covering a range of geopolitical, economic, and social issues with a strong focus on Russia-India relations, the Ukraine conflict, and criticisms of Western foreign policy and media.

Key Themes and Stories:

1. Russia-India Strategic Partnership and RT India Launch:
A central theme is the deepening strategic partnership between Russia and India, highlighted by President Vladimir Putin’s two-day state visit to India and the official launch of RT India. Both leaders, Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasized the "time-tested friendship" and "deep trust" between their nations, dating back decades to the Soviet era. This relationship is characterized as beyond mere diplomatic understanding, rooted in mutual interest and aiming for global well-being and sustainable solutions for global challenges.

2. Ukraine Conflict and International Diplomacy:
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine and diplomatic efforts towards peace are extensively discussed, with a strong critical stance against Western involvement.

3. Critiques of Western Foreign Policy and Media:
A significant portion of the broadcasts is dedicated to criticizing Western countries' foreign policy and their media.

4. Global South and Multipolar World Order:
The rise of the Global South and the emergence of a multipolar world order are presented as undeniable realities.

5. Russia's Domestic and Foreign Policy (Putin's Perspective):
Vladimir Putin's interview responses provide insight into Russia's official stance on various matters.

The 2-page distilled version above consumes just 2,193 tokens. Let's run it through the same prompt we used before to make an infographic request via Gemini 2.5 Pro:

Create a prompt for a large illustrated explainer poster designed to be printed on a large-format poster printer and hung up on the wall that narrates the attached broadcasts as a single large poster that can be printed and hung on a wall that outlines all of the major themes and trends and findings. Focus on the combined story of the report. The poster should be entirely in English.

Let's render first through Nano Banana. Interestingly, this poster actually does a poorer job than just having Gemini 2.5 Flash generate the prompt from the complete transcript, suggesting there is a tradeoff in having Flash summarize and then create the infographic prompt for Nano Banana:

What about Nano Banana Pro? This one is closer to the quality of our previous Pro images, but lacks the thematic structuring that made the raw transcript-to-infographic images so organized.

Let's repeat the same process, but using Gemini 2.5 Pro to distill down the 24-hour transcript to a 2-page summary. This will help us discern whether the issue is the reasoning abilities of the distillation process or whether two pages is simply too little room to fully distill the key detail from the day's coverage:

Summary of Broadcasts from RT (December 6, 2025)

RT India Launches Amid Historic India-Russia Summit in New Delhi

A series of broadcasts on December 6, 2025, focused heavily on the official launch of RT’s new sister channel, RT India, an event that coincided with the 23rd annual India-Russia Summit in New Delhi. Russian President Vladimir Putin personally inaugurated the channel alongside RT’s Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonova, hailing it as a significant milestone in the two nations' longstanding relationship.

In his launch speech, President Putin emphasized that RT India would provide millions of Indian citizens with a direct and accurate perspective on Russia. He framed RT as a source of "truthful information," contrasting it with what he called the "propaganda machine of many western information sources," which he claimed shut down RT out of "fear of the truth." Putin underscored that the foundation of Russia-India relations is a mutual interest and trust built over decades, expressing confidence that RT India would play a part in developing these "multi-faceted, long-standing relations."

The launch was presented as a testament to the deepening strategic partnership between the two nations. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who gave Putin an exceptionally warm welcome, stated that the partnership’s goal "is not limited to increasing mutual trade" but aims "to ensure the wellbeing of all humanity." The broadcasts highlighted the positive reception in India, with hosts and commentators noting a widespread public fatigue with Western media outlets like the BBC and CNN and an eagerness for a non-mainstream perspective. A former Indian ambassador praised the launch as an important signal to the Indian nation that "India matters for Russia" and lauded RT for providing news "devoid of coloring by the west."

The summit itself produced a wide-ranging joint statement affirming the "special and privileged strategic partnership" between Moscow and New Delhi. Key outcomes and discussions included:

In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with Indian network Aaj Tak, Putin elaborated on these themes. He called Modi a "friend" and a leader who "does not succumb to pressure," declaring that India is a "major global player, not a British colony." He stressed the unique nature of the military relationship, noting that Russia is not merely selling weapons but sharing high-level technology, such as with the co-produced BrahMos missile, which he said signifies an unparalleled level of trust.

Business leaders from both countries echoed this optimism, highlighting opportunities for expanded cooperation beyond traditional sectors into cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and space exploration. The overall sentiment from the New Delhi broadcasts was that the summit and the RT India launch together marked the dawn of a new, more profound era in India-Russia relations, firmly positioning the partnership as a key pillar in an emerging multipolar world order.

Global Shifts: Ukraine Peace Talks, African Liberation, and a Fracturing West

Beyond the India-Russia summit, RT's broadcasts explored significant global geopolitical shifts, focusing on the Ukraine peace process, Africa’s struggle against neo-colonialism, and growing divisions within the Western bloc.

Ukraine Peace Talks and Western Division
A key topic was a secretive five-hour meeting in Moscow between a U.S. delegation led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Russian officials to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine. In his interview, President Putin described the talks as "meaningful and substantive," stating the Americans brought "truly new" proposals, which were broken down into four packages. He also expressed his belief that President Trump is "sincerely" seeking a resolution to the conflict.

A Crosstalk panel discussion highlighted the significance of the talks being a direct Washington-Moscow channel that deliberately excluded European leaders. Panelists argued that Europe had "earned its exclusion" through its belligerent rhetoric and failure to address its own security concerns. The discussion underscored the deep-seated mistrust that has derailed past diplomatic efforts like the Minsk and Istanbul agreements, with panelists warning that hardliners in Europe could still push for escalation.

Further highlighting transatlantic fractures, another segment detailed a new U.S. National Security Strategy that bluntly criticizes the EU for its "unrealistic expectations" on Ukraine and "anti-democratic practices." The strategy document calls for an end to NATO expansion and prioritizes "strategic stability with Russia." This was juxtaposed with economist Jim Rickards' analysis of a potential "Mar-a-Lago Accord" under a Trump presidency. Rickards described an aggressive economic doctrine based on high tariffs, currency manipulation controls enforced by a "traffic light system" (classifying nations as friends or foes), and the extension of the U.S. security umbrella as a tool of economic coercion. He argued this policy would effectively treat Europe as a "vassal," further cementing the decline of the old U.S.-led global order.

A View from the Global South: Africa's Struggle for Sovereignty
Providing a powerful perspective from the Global South, Kenyan intellectual PLO Lumumba delivered two lectures on the state of Africa. First, he presented a historical analysis of the Central African Republic (CAR), describing it as a "failed state" whose chronic instability—from the dictatorial Emperor Bokassa to present-day conflicts—has been fueled by foreign interference (particularly French) and the exploitation of its vast mineral resources. He noted the current government's reliance on the Russian Wagner group for stability as a symptom of this systemic failure.

In his second lecture, Lumumba issued a powerful call for Africa's complete liberation from neo-colonialism. He argued that true independence requires Africans to reclaim their pre-colonial spiritual, cultural, and governance systems, rather than accepting Western models of democracy and religion that were historically used as tools of subjugation. He stressed the urgent need for pan-African unity—including a united military force—to resist the "divide and rule" tactics that keep the continent weak and exploited. Citing past pan-African leaders, he declared that the fight against neo-colonialism is an intergenerational war that Africa must win.

Putin on the New World Order
Tying these themes together, President Putin, in his interview, spoke at length about the changing global landscape. He dismissed the relevance of the G7, noting that the economic power of BRICS nations like India has already surpassed many of its members. He positioned BRICS and the SCO not as "anti-Western" blocs, but as positive alliances for the "world majority" based on shared traditional values and a focus on mutual development. He confirmed Russia has no interest in rejoining the G7, stating, "What am I supposed to do there… if they don't want to talk to me?" This sentiment captured the overarching theme of the day's broadcasts: the steady and irreversible shift away from a unipolar world toward a new global configuration defined by diverse and independent centers of power.

And rendered via Nano Banana Pro:

Comparing this image with the earlier Nano Banana Pro one from Gemini Flash 2.5, this one is more visually appealing and focuses on just a few major themes, whereas the one based on the Flash summary contained substantially more detail and far more supporting stories. That raises an interesting question as to which is better? More detail or just a few major themes? Interestingly, the 2.5 Pro collects the themes into an overarching theme of "an irreversible shift to a multipolar world", whereas the Flash version had that as just one of the four major themes and added a theme around Kremlin perspectives, which is absent from the graphic above.

Let's try 10-page summaries with Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro and rendering both with Nano Banana Pro. Let's also ask it to organize the resulting distillation into an "overarching structure" to prioritize structuring the infographic into key themes, rather than trying to convey every single detail:

Executive Summary

The broadcasts from RT on December 6, 2025, present a cohesive and thematic narrative centered on the rise of a multipolar world order and a direct challenge to Western political, economic, and media hegemony. The day's programming is anchored by the landmark state visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to India, culminating in the official launch of the RT India channel. This event serves as the primary vehicle to articulate the core themes of the broadcast: the strengthening of strategic non-Western alliances (specifically the Russia-India partnership within the BRICS framework), the presentation of alternative perspectives to counter Western media dominance, and a critique of US and European foreign policy.

Key programming includes extensive live coverage from New Delhi, a detailed long-form interview with Vladimir Putin by Indian journalists, analytical segments on the fracturing US-Europe relationship under a Trump administration, historical lectures on the legacy of colonialism in Africa, and news bulletins reinforcing these narratives. The Ukraine conflict is framed through the lens of a potential Trump-brokered peace deal, with discussions highlighting Russia's perceived battlefield advantages and a deep-seated distrust of Western diplomatic overtures.

Overall, the broadcasts construct a worldview where the global center of gravity is shifting eastward and southward. It portrays Russia and its partners, like India, not as isolated actors, but as architects of a new, more equitable global system, while framing Western powers as declining, unreliable, and struggling to adapt to their diminishing influence.

Page 2: The India-Russia Summit: A "Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership"

The central event of the broadcast day was the 23rd annual India-Russia Summit in New Delhi, featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The coverage portrayed the summit not merely as a diplomatic formality but as a powerful affirmation of a deep, time-tested friendship built on a foundation of mutual trust and strategic alignment.

Key Agreements and Economic Goals:

The summit saw the signing of numerous bilateral agreements across a wide spectrum of sectors, underscoring the comprehensive nature of the partnership.

Diplomatic and Personal Rapport:

The broadcast repeatedly emphasized the warm personal relationship between Putin and Modi, referring to each other as "dear friends." Details were shared about Putin’s arrival, where he was personally greeted on the tarmac by Modi—a gesture described as a significant honor. An informal dinner was held at Modi’s private residence, highlighting a level of personal trust that transcends typical diplomatic protocol.

Prime Minister Modi stated that the partnership’s goal is "not limited to increasing mutual trade" but aims for the "well-being of all humanity." He affirmed that "India is fully prepared to walk shoulder to shoulder with Russia on this journey." This rhetoric positioned the alliance as a force for global good, a recurring theme throughout the day. President Putin, in turn, praised Modi's leadership, highlighting India's booming economy (with a GDP growth rate of over 8%) as a testament to his successful policies, such as the "Make in India" initiative.

The summit was consistently framed as a powerful symbol of a burgeoning multipolar world, where two major sovereign powers are charting a course independent of Western influence and pressure.

Page 3: The Launch of RT India: A New Voice in a Multipolar World

Coinciding with the diplomatic summit, the official launch of RT India was a pivotal moment in the day's broadcast, presented as a historic expansion of the RT network and a significant milestone in the India-Russia relationship. The launch took place at 5:31 PM India Standard Time and was inaugurated by President Vladimir Putin and RT's Editor-in-Chief, Margarita Simonian.

Putin’s Rationale and Mission for RT India:

In his launch speech, President Putin framed the channel's purpose as providing a direct and unfiltered source of information about Russia to the Indian public, countering what he described as the Western propaganda machine.

Reception and Significance in the Indian Media Landscape:

The broadcast highlighted a highly positive reception for RT India. Correspondents on the ground in New Delhi noted a massive promotional campaign with billboards across major cities and a palpable sense of excitement.

The launch was portrayed as both a strategic and symbolic act, reinforcing the idea of a media landscape that is de-dollarizing and de-westernizing in parallel with global politics and economics.

Page 4: In-Depth with Vladimir Putin (Part 1): Geopolitics, Bilateral Relations, and BRICS

A significant portion of the broadcast was dedicated to a long-form interview with President Vladimir Putin conducted by Indian journalists Anjana Om Kashyap and Geeta Mohan. The interview covered a wide range of topics, providing Putin a platform to articulate his views on the India-Russia partnership, the global balance of power, and ongoing conflicts.

On the India-Russia Partnership and Leadership:

Putin spoke at length about the unique nature of the relationship with India and his personal rapport with Prime Minister Modi.

On the Shifting Global Order:

Putin articulated his vision of a world moving away from Western dominance, with new centers of power emerging.

Putin's responses consistently portrayed Russia and India as sovereign equals working together to build a more balanced and just international system, free from the dictates of a declining West.

Page 5: In-Depth with Vladimir Putin (Part 2): The Ukraine Conflict and Personal Ideology

The second part of the comprehensive interview with Vladimir Putin focused on the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and his personal and historical perspectives that shape his worldview.

On the War in Ukraine:

Putin presented Russia's official narrative regarding the conflict, framing it as a defensive action forced upon Moscow by Western provocations and Ukrainian nationalism.

On NATO Expansion:

Putin characterized NATO as the primary threat to Russia's security and the root cause of the current confrontation.

On Personal History and Ideology:

The interview touched upon Putin’s personal experiences and governing philosophy.

Page 6: The Ukraine Peace Process: The Witkoff Mission and Western Division

The ongoing war in Ukraine and the prospects for peace were a central topic, discussed extensively in a "Crosstalk" panel segment and during the Putin interview. The narrative focused on a US-led peace initiative under Donald Trump, portraying it as the only viable path forward while simultaneously highlighting European obstructionism and a deep lack of trust between all parties.

The Witkoff Delegation's Visit to Moscow:

The recent visit of a Trump administration delegation, led by Steve Witkoff, was a key point of discussion.

Russia's Position and Battlefield Dynamics:

The broadcast consistently argued that Russia is negotiating from a position of strength, with no urgency to accept unfavorable terms.

European Opposition and Internal Division:

European leaders were portrayed as the primary spoilers of the peace process, driven by self-preservation and an irrational desire for conflict.

The overall theme was that a potential peace is being forged between Moscow and a Trump-led Washington, while a belligerent and increasingly irrelevant Europe tries to obstruct it.

Page 7: Fracturing Alliances: US National Security Strategy and the "Mar-a-Lago Accord"

A major theme explored through a "Going Underground" interview segment and news reports was the dramatic shift in US foreign policy under a second Trump administration, leading to a significant and growing rift in the transatlantic alliance.

The New US National Security Strategy:

News bulletins detailed a newly unveiled US National Security Strategy that was openly critical of the European Union.

The "Mar-a-Lago Accord": An Economic Doctrine

The "Going Underground" segment featured economist Jim Rickards, who detailed the principles of what he termed the "Mar-a-Lago Accord"—a complex economic strategy underpinning Trump's foreign policy.

The combination of the security strategy and the economic accord was presented as a radical reshaping of the post-WWII order. It depicts a US pivoting away from its traditional European allies, viewing them as economic rivals and unreliable partners, while attempting to impose a new set of transactional rules on the rest of the world.

Page 8: Reclaiming the Continent: Africa’s Struggle Against Neo-Colonialism

The broadcast featured multiple segments dedicated to African affairs, all centered on a powerful critique of historical and ongoing Western exploitation and a call for African sovereignty and unity. These were led by prominent Pan-Africanist speaker, Professor P.L.O. Lumumba.

Case Study: The Central African Republic (CAR)

Professor Lumumba delivered a detailed historical lecture on the troubled history of the Central African Republic, presenting it as a microcosm of post-colonial instability and foreign interference.

A Broader Call for African Liberation:

In another segment, Professor Lumumba delivered a passionate speech calling for Africa to liberate itself from the chains of neo-colonialism.

This narrative was complemented by a report on the inaugural African Media Awards, co-organized by RT in Ethiopia. The event was framed as a crucial step in empowering African journalists to tell their own stories, breaking the continent's reliance on biased Western media narratives and fostering a sense of Pan-African pride and solidarity.

Page 9: Historical Context: The Tharoor Interview and RT’s Anti-Colonial Vignettes

To provide deeper context for the day's dominant themes—particularly the strength of the India-Russia relationship and the critique of Western colonialism—the broadcast included an in-depth interview with Indian politician and author Dr. Shashi Tharoor, as well as a series of short historical vignettes.

Dr. Shashi Tharoor on the History of India-Russia Relations:

Dr. Tharoor’s interview traced the long and multifaceted history of the partnership, reinforcing the idea that it is not a recent, reactive alliance but one with deep historical and cultural roots.

RT’s Historical Vignettes on Colonialism:

Sprinkled throughout the day's programming were short, professionally produced historical segments detailing the brutalities of Western colonialism. These served as supporting evidence for the broader anti-colonial narrative.

These vignettes were not connected to a single news story but functioned as thematic reinforcement, painting a picture of the West as historically predatory and hypocritical, thereby lending greater legitimacy to the non-Western alliances and alternative narratives being promoted in the main broadcasts.

Page 10: Global News Roundup & Overarching Broadcast Themes

In addition to the major thematic blocks, the broadcast day included several distinct news reports from around the world. These stories, while varied, often complemented the main narratives of Western instability and the challenges facing its allies.

Global News Roundup:

Overarching Broadcast Themes:

A clear and consistent set of themes unified the diverse content of the December 6th broadcast:

      1. The Ascendancy of the Multipolar World: The primary theme was the irreversible shift away from a unipolar, US-dominated world. The India-Russia summit and the focus on BRICS were presented as the tangible embodiment of this new order, where sovereign nations forge powerful alliances independent of the West.

      2. Critique of Western Hegemony: The broadcast mounted a multi-pronged attack on Western dominance—politically (through critiques of US/EU foreign policy), economically (via the "Mar-a-Lago Accord" and the decline of the G7), and, most importantly, in the media (the entire rationale for RT India).

      3. Russia as a Reliable, Sovereign Partner: Across all segments, Russia was portrayed as a stable, trustworthy, and sovereign actor that respects its partners. This was contrasted with the portrayal of the US as a transactional and unreliable ally and Europe as a declining, internally divided bloc.

      4. The Legacy of Colonialism as a Modern Political Force: The historical injustices of colonialism were not treated as relics of the past but as the root of present-day global inequalities and resentments. This narrative was used to build solidarity with the "Global South" and to frame contemporary non-Western alliances as a form of collective resistance against neo-colonialism.

Let's go back to a 2-page distillation via Gemini 2.5 Flash and use this modified prompt to ask for it to be organized into an overarching narrative:

Summarize the attached broadcasts into a 2-page summary that contains all of the key stories, details, themes, etc and organizes into an overarching structure. Summary should be entirely in English regardless of source language.

RT India Launch and Russia-India Relations

A major focal point is the official launch of RT India at 5:31 PM India Standard Time, a significant event inaugurated by Russian President Vladimir Putin and RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan. The launch is presented as a symbolic moment, strengthening the "time-tested friendship" and "strategic partnership" between India and Russia. Putin emphasized that RT India will provide millions of Indian citizens with accurate information about Russia's reality, thoughts, and aspirations, contrasting it with what he called the "propaganda machine of many Western information sources" driven by "fear of the truth."

The broadcasts highlight the deep historical roots of Russia-India relations, dating back to the USSR's support for India's independence and expanding across multiple spheres like trade, defense, and culture (e.g., Bollywood's sensation in the Soviet Union). Both leaders, Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi, are portrayed as ushering in a "new era of relations," with Modi stating that their goal is not just mutual trade but "the well-being of all humanity and sustainable solutions for global challenges."

Key aspects of the Russia-India partnership discussed include:

Russia-Ukraine Conflict and International Diplomacy

The broadcasts frequently return to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, specifically focusing on peace talks and military developments.

US National Security Strategy and Europe's Reaction

The new US National Security Strategy is a significant topic, portraying a growing "gulf between Europe and America."

Global Power Shifts

The discussions frequently touch upon the evolving global order.

Now we'll use Gemini 2.5 Pro to convert to a infographic prompt and Nano Banana Pro to visualize it:

How about a different day: Russia Today from December 12th?

Let's start with having Gemini 2.5 Pro create the infographic prompt from the entire 207,425-token transcript of the day. This represents the gold standard "best" edition, since it has access to the entire 24-hour transcript with all of its detail when developing the poster. This is also the most expensive, costing $0.560143 just to transform the transcript into an infographic prompt (not including the cost of the infographic generation). This would cost around $28 a day to do over all of our international channels, or around $840 a month.

And let's have Gemini 2.5 Flash create the infographic prompt. This is still a partial gold standard, since it has access to the entire transcript, but Flash is less powerful than Pro. The initial prompt creation cost $0.066715 ($3.3/day $100/month).

Let's try Flash again, but this time we will enable Thinking. This time the prompt generation cost $0.077653 total ($3.8/day $116/month).

Now let's use 2.5 Flash to distill the 24-hour transcript into 2 pages and then turn into a prompt via 2.5 Pro and visualize via Pro:

Summarize the attached broadcasts into a 2-page summary that contains all of the key stories, details, themes, etc and organizes into an overarching structure. Summary should be entirely in English regardless of source language.

I. Russia-Ukraine Conflict & Geopolitical Shifts

The overarching theme is the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, presented from a Russian perspective that highlights Ukrainian military and governmental struggles, Western miscalculations, and Russia's strategic advancements.

II. African Geopolitics & Neocolonialism

Several segments are dedicated to Africa, highlighting its historical struggles with colonialism and advocating for greater sovereignty and self-reliance.

III. Humanitarian Crises

The broadcasts also cover critical humanitarian situations, particularly in Gaza.

IV. Western Internal Issues & Declining Influence

The broadcasts present a picture of internal strife, economic decline, and declining credibility within Western nations and institutions.

V. Social and Human Interest Stories

Beyond geopolitics, the broadcasts touch upon human stories of resilience and struggle.

What about using our story segmentation workflow?

You are a television news cataloger whose job it is to read television news transcripts and identify each of the stories described within and make a list of those stories, along with certain information about each. Attached is a television news transcript =. Read the transcript  and make a list of all of the stories it describes. Skip all advertisements. Each story may be mentioned multiple times in multiple places in the transcript. Number the stories in sequential order from 1. Output the story list as JSON records, one per row, with fields TITLE, DESCRIPTION, LOCATIONS, KEYWORDS, ENTITIES, EMOTIONS, FRAMING, NARRATIVESTRUCTURE. TITLE is a brief sentence-length title for the story that conveys its overall meaning. DESCRIPTION is a few sentences that concisely describe the story. LOCATIONS is a semicolon-separated list of all locations mentioned in the story in order from most central to least central to the story. Each LOCATION should be the fully-qualified name followed by its centroid lat/long coordinates in square brackets, in order of their importance to the story. Make sure you include every location mentioned in the story in order of importance to the story. Make sure that you include the centroid lat/long for each location in square brackets after the name. KEYWORDS is a list of 20 keywords that concisely describe the story, separated by semicolons, in order of their importance to the story.
