Firefly Image 2 Model

Adobe Firefly is a commercial safe image generation AI tool that to date has made over 3 billion new images. 1 billion of them were made in the last month alone. Firefly is a web application that according to an Adobe press release is “a playground for AI-assisted creative expression.”

Creators of all skill levels are using Firefly, and 90% of its users are new to Adobe products.

This latest update makes Adobe Firefly even more advanced in making high-quality images with greater creative control. The images above are examples of Firefly Image 2 generative prowess. They were shown while attendees were waiting for the keynote to begin.
