        "Adobe’s June 17 announcement introduced the Firefly mobile app for iOS and Android. That is a distribution event: Adobe moved a named set of Firefly creation tools onto mobile operating systems rather than merely updating the web product. The company said users could generate and edit images and video from a phone, with connected access to Adobe creative workflows. A mobile launch does not establish that each desktop capability, partner model or paid plan had identical behavior on launch day. The public announcement supports Adobe’s stated app availability and feature direction. It does not prove device performance, output suitability or a completed customer workflow."

      "paragraphs": [
        "The same June post says Firefly Boards, then in public beta, added video-generation capabilities for creative ideation. Adobe also named video models from partners alongside its own offerings. The beta status matters because it tells readers the Boards feature was not being presented as the later global product state. A board can be an early ideation space without being a final editing, review or delivery surface. The source does not indicate that every user could access every model, nor does it settle a license question for outputs created through connected services. This entry reports the beta-era addition and keeps it separate from September’s global Boards announcement."

      "paragraphs": [
        "Adobe described a growing selection of partner models in Firefly, including named image and video systems. That is a meaningful interface change because it gives a creator model choice within Adobe’s surface, but it does not erase the terms or characteristics of the selected provider. The June release should therefore not be read as a single uniform model update. It is a product-distribution story with an expanded model menu and a Boards beta feature. The announcement’s promotional examples do not measure accuracy, stylistic fidelity or rights safety for a specific prompt. Those questions need the selected provider’s documentation and the creator’s actual source materials."

      "paragraphs": [
        "Adobe’s September 24 primary post calls Firefly Boards a global launch and lists additions such as Presets and Describe Image. That later record is useful negative evidence for the June story: it shows why the June event must stay framed as mobile-app introduction plus public-beta expansion, not as the worldwide Boards release. The two dates represent different changes to the product surface. The June source supports mobile availability and a beta video addition; the September source supports a later global status and different controls. Keeping both records prevents a later feature set from being projected backward onto the first mobile announcement."
