It's a Me Mario Reporting Live From the Mushroom Kingdom... I Mean London!

Hello everybody! It's a me Mario! I'm here to tell you about something exciting – almost as exciting as finding a Super Mushroom! Adobe the guys who make all those fancy design tools are bringing their AI image maker Firefly to your phones! That's right iOS AND Android. Soon they say. Let's hope it's sooner than it takes me to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser every time!

Firefly Mobile: Creativity on the Go! Just Like My Kart!

So what's the big deal? Well according to Alexandru Costin from Adobe they want Firefly to be your 'creative partner' wherever you go. Imagine this: you're on the bus and *BAM* you're sketching out ad ideas with AI! By the time you get to work you've already got a mood board. It's like finding a warp pipe straight to success! "Creative people think on the go," he says. Just like how I think about jumping over Goombas on the go!

New Models! Bigger Better Just Like a Super Star!

But wait there's more! Adobe is also launching new versions of Firefly. They've got the 'Firefly Image Model 4' and 'Firefly Image Model 4 Ultra' and they're saying these can make pictures and videos that look realer than my mustache! Plus they're releasing a 'Firefly Video Model' for making videos. 'Commercially safe' they say. No stealing Luigi's likeness! Wahaha! (Luigi did not like that). They even promise to block intellectual property. That's important because nobody wants to see AI making copies of my famous jump!

OpenAI: The New Bowser in Town? A No!

Now here's where it gets interesting. Seems there's this other company OpenAI and they're making waves with their own image making AI. They released a feature that makes anime images and turns people into toy dolls! Apparently it was so popular it almost melted their computers! 'Our GPUs are melting!' said the boss man Sam Altman. Yikes! That's worse than lava in Bowser's castle!

Partnerships: It's a Me Working With the Competition!?

But here's the twist! Adobe isn't afraid of a little competition. In fact they're partnering WITH OpenAI Google and even Runway! Costin says competition is great and that these companies have different personalities. Like me and Luigi maybe? He added that it gives everyone the opportunity to innovate! 'It's a about understanding the needs of creatives giving them the technology to help serve their needs,' he says. Working together? Now that's more effective than stomping on a Koopa Troopa!

So Long and Happy Creating! Wahoo!

So there you have it! Adobe's bringing the heat with Firefly mobile and new AI models. They're ready to compete with the best and they're even willing to team up! It's a exciting time to be a creative person! Now if you'll excuse me I hear Princess Peach has baked a cake. Gotta run! Wahoo!
