Adobe Firefly Image 5
mediocre model, unmatched legal cover
it appears in no leaderboard top ten and it doesn't matter — firefly is bought for licensed training data and ip indemnification, and on that it has no competition.
firefly image 5 does native four-megapixel output and generative fill inside photoshop is still the best implementation of editing-in-context anywhere. that integration, not the model, is the product.
the actual reason firefly sells is legal. it is trained on adobe stock and licensed content, and adobe offers ip indemnification to enterprise customers. in a year when bytedance's video model drew cease-and-desists from disney and paramount, that story is worth more to a lot of buyers than any amount of image quality.
