The Best AI Image Model? All Seven, At Once.

Ask five designers which AI image model is best and you’ll get five different answers, because the honest answer is that none of them are best at everything. GPT Image is the one you can talk to mid-edit. FLUX is the one obsessed with texture and realism. Ideogram is the rare model that can actually spell. Adobe’s answer to that mess wasn’t to pick a favourite, it was to put seven of them on the same desk.

Firefly’s web app and Firefly Boards now carry a growing lineup of partner generative AI models alongside Adobe’s own Firefly models, all reachable with the Adobe ID your team already has. GPT Image handles iterative, conversational editing, the kind where you ask for a change in plain language and get exactly that change back. FLUX Pro, Ultra, Raw and Kontext cover realism and texture, and are particularly good at transforming existing reference material rather than generating from nothing. Google Imagen leans towards balanced, illustration-friendly output. Runway holds character and camera framing consistent across a series of images, useful for storyboarding. Ideogram is the one to reach for when the image needs to contain actual, correctly spelled words: a poster, a sign, a piece of packaging.

None of this touches your existing production tools. These models are built for the early, exploratory stage of a project, moodboarding, concepting, testing a direction, before work moves into Photoshop, Illustrator or Premiere for the final polish. Customer content is never used to train any of the models, and enterprise admins can enable or disable specific models for the whole organisation through the Admin Console.

The practical question isn’t which model is best. It’s which one fits the brief in front of you today, and for the first time, that’s a five-second choice inside a tool your team already has open.
