The model will be part of the company's expanding Firefly family and will be available later this year. Adobe's model will be an answer to OpenAI's Sora, Google's Imagen 2, and other generative AI video startups. The model will also enable users to insert objects within a video clip segment.

Meta plans to use generative AI beyond text generation and use it for surfacing new content from networks like Instagram.
