Meta opens its multimodal model to everyone

Adobe has expanded its presence inside ChatGPT, moving beyond its initial Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat integrations to bring its entire suite of applications into OpenAI's conversational platform. The move positions Adobe more directly against Canva, which has built much of its recent growth on accessible, AI-assisted design tools. The unified plugin signals a deeper strategic bet on ChatGPT as a creative interface.

xAI has updated its image generation tool inside Grok with the release of Imagine Image 2.0, available through the app's Quality Mode on both web and mobile. The update introduces a range of new capabilities including precise editing, smart resizing, and multi-reference image input. Workflow templates are also part of the release, aimed at streamlining repeated or complex image tasks.

Meta has released Muse Glimmer, an open-source multimodal AI system designed to run locally and operate with agentic capabilities. The model combines image understanding and generation with the ability to take multi-step actions, all without requiring a cloud connection. It marks Meta's latest push into accessible, on-device generative AI tools.
