Adobe's next-gen Firefly 2 offers vector graphics, more control and photorealistic renders

Just seven months after its beta debut, Adobe's Firefly generative AI is set to receive a trio of new models as well as more than 100 new features and capabilities, company executives announced at the Adobe Max 2023 event on Tuesday. The Firefly Image 2 model promises higher fidelity generated images and more granular controls for users and the Vector model will allow graphic designers to rapidly generate vector images, a first for the industry. The Design model for generating print and online advertising layouts offers another first: text-to-template generation. Adobe is no stranger to using machine learning in its products. The company released its earliest commercial AI, Sensei, in 2016.
