Canva launched Brush yesterday and immediately after Figma shared how there own in-house editing model was built They both trained on existing data from their respective platform (which is massive). I do believe data is the moat, whether you're training custom models, enterprise SaaS models, or in this case targeted design models that could manipulate layers better than any frontier labs model. Hence it's not a surprise that OpenAI and Claude are focusing most of their energy on enterprise adoption.

In almost all the tech conferences that I have attended in SF this year the main topic was AI in Robotics 🤖 and Space 🚀 Just recently, I had conversations 2 founders who said that they saw a couple of companies who aim to have Robots taking/augmenting over car maintenance jobs. When do you think that would be possible?

If I would summarize @TechCrunch disrupt so far is the evolution of Physical AI 🤖 The next wave of AI is being built incredible pace primarily focus on general-purpose robotics, aerospace infrastructure, transportation. Lots of the conversations were around how what the robot foundational models look like, how LLMs are being built for that purpose, what kind of training data is used to ensure the right safety guardrails in place, what are the real world deployments, and what the economics of robotics.

Yesterday was a huge day for @_pactto After so many months building Pactto with a single belief that humans and agents should work better together to produce creative output faster than ever. So happy that I went through that exciting and often nerve wrecking journey with my close friend. @demianborba

I want to specially thank our #CCLibraries & #AdobeFirefly teams for making this feature a reality. In less than a week, we saw thousands of users saving tens of thousands of Firefly images to CC Libraries to easily reuse in Adobe Express, Ps, Ai & Id.
With #AdobeFirefly, you can now generate images, save them into a Creative Cloud Library, and reuse them in other applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Express, or InDesign, as I did here. Now, that’s a helpful workflow!

#AdobeMAX was so special with all the amazing #AdobeFirefly GenAI features. Now in few seconds, you can easily save Firefly generations to #CreativeCloudLibraries to quickly share & reuse them in #AdobeExpress, Creative Cloud apps & MS suite. Try it out & share your feedback!
