Adobe brings AI-image generation app to phones, adds partners
(Corrects paragraphs 2-4 to reflect that new partner models are not yet available on the Firefly mobile app) By Stephen Nellis SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Adobe Inc. released its first dedicated artificial intelligence smartphone app on Tuesday that includes AI models from the company and partner firms, in a bid to tap into a growing trend of sharing AI images and videos over social media. The new Firefly mobile app packages Adobe's own AI model together with models from OpenAI and Google and is available on iOS and Android phones. In addition, Adobe is integrating models from new partner firms Ideogram, Luma AI, Pika and Runway, which can be accessed in Firefly Boards, a product that is part of the Firefly web app. Generating images that can easily be shared on social media has become a key driver of AI interest, with OpenAI's Ghibli-style AI images driving record traffic to the ChatGPT creator. Adobe's mobile service will offer subscribers unlimited basic image generation from Adobe models, while it will charge extra for access to the company's premium models and those from its partners. The subscription cost will be the same as for the web versions of Firefly, which start at $10 per month. The San Jose, California-based company had earlier released AI tools along with the mobile app version of its popular image-editing program Photoshop. Adobe has not disclosed how much it pays the partner models on the Firefly app. The company had promised users that its AI model is trained only on material that it has a legal right to use, with Adobe offering protection against copyright claims. Ely Greenfield, Adobe's chief technology officer for digital media, said Adobe's approach has also gained some resonance among consumers. "Even for many of our individual customers, that promise of the commercial safety and the story about how Firefly is trained continues to be a really important differentiator," Greenfield said.

You Can Now Generate ChatGPT Images by Texting a 1-800 Number on WhatsApp
ChatGPT's image generator tool now takes requests at 1-800-CHATGPT. The feature, announced by OpenAI on Monday in an X post, allows anyone with a WhatsApp account to text that phone number and make a request for an AI-generated image using a plain-language prompt. In CNET's test, ChatGPT's 1-800 hotline was able to create an old-school corded telephone image with the ChatGPT logo on it in about two minutes. The 1-800 number also accepts other ChatGPT requests that aren't for images. If you don't have a ChatGPT account linked to your WhatsApp, you're limited to one image request per day. In April, ChatGPT announced it was opening up its image-generation feature to everyone, which created a surge of traffic for the AI tool. The service competes with image generators from other companies including Meta and Google.

Adobe's Firefly comes to iOS and Android
Adobe has been on a quest to attract users to its platform for their AI needs. The company in April launched a redesigned Firefly web app that lets users use Adobe's own Firefly image- and video-generation models as well as third-party models. Now, it is releasing a Firefly app on both iOS and Android that lets people use all of its models as well as models from OpenAI (GPT image generation), Google (Imagen 3 and Veo 2), and Flux (Flux 1.1 Pro). Like the web app, the new smartphone apps let you use prompts to generate images or videos or convert images into videos. You can also edit certain parts of images using generative fill or expand an image with generative expand. Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers can start a project on the Firefly mobile app and store it in the cloud to access it through the web or desktop app. The company is now also supporting more third-party models, including Flux.1 Kontext by Black Forest Labs, Ideogram 3.0 by Ideogram, and Gen-4 Image by Runway. The company is also updating Firefly Boards, its collaborative whiteboarding tool, with the ability to generate videos. Canvas lets users generate videos with Adobe's own video models as well as those made by its competitors. Adobe said users have so far created more than 24 billion media assets with its Firefly models, and that its AI features have been a big factor in increasing the number of first-time subscribers 30% quarter-over-quarter.

All WhatsApp users unlock free ChatGPT perk inside app – but you'll have to enter special code to find it on your phone
WHATSAPP users can unlock a handy new ChatGPT feature directly within the messaging app. The popular AI platform was added as a free chatbot to WhatsApp at the end of 2024, allowing users to ask questions and start a conversation. Anyone can access ChatGPT via WhatsApp by entering a secret code. You simply need to add 1-800-CHATGPT as a contact. But today the feature gets an enhancement, creators OpenAI exclusively revealed to The Sun. ChatGPT on WhatsApp now has the ability to generate images. There are two ways you can do this. Either, ask for any image you want by typing it out. Or, you can upload a photo from your camera roll and describe how you'd like to transform it. Users without a ChatGPT account can generate one image per day, with the option to link a ChatGPT account for additional images. Those who link their existing account will have higher usage limits per day. It comes only a few months after OpenAI added shopping features to ChatGPT. WHAT'S IT LIKE? By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun I tried out ChatGPT's new image generation within WhatsApp and it came back with some fun results. I uploaded a photo of myself on holiday and asked it to turn the image into a cartoon. "Got it - I'm working on creating that image but it might take a bit," ChatGPT responded. "I'll send it as soon as it's ready." Three minutes later and it came back with the pretty cool image seen here.
