Adobe’s Claims Next Generative AI Features Will Be Commercially Safe

Speaking of “early access” features, Adobe introduced AI-powered Lens Blur as an early access tool last year. With today’s Lightroom ecosystem update, it is finally available to everyone, no strings attached. For those who want it, it’s available in all versions of Adobe Lightroom beginning today as an “early access” feature. While it’s easy to think about “generative AI” in terms of adding something to a scene, it also makes sense for removal, as to do so convincingly, new pixels must be made to replace what is taken out of the frame.

By being open about our data sources, training methodologies, and the ethical safeguards we have in place, we empower users to make informed decisions about how they interact with our products. This transparency not only aligns with our core AI Ethics principles but also fosters a collaborative relationship with our users. Adobe could improve the user experience dramatically by simply including the reason a generation gets flagged as a guideline violation. They request we use their feedback system when this happens, but don’t give us any feedback in return.

There, a user’s remaining number of generative credits is shown and it reloads in real-time. There is no indication inside any of Adobe’s apps that tells a user a tool requires a Generative Credit and there is also no note showing how many credits remain on an account. Adobe’s FAQ page says that the generative credits available to a user can be seen after logging into their account on the web, but PetaPixel found this isn’t the case, at least not for any of its team members.

The Firefly Video Model (beta) is set to extend Adobe’s family of generative AI models and make Firefly one of the most comprehensive model offerings for creative teams. It is available today through a limited public beta with the goal of garnering feedback from small groups of creative professionals. Adobe is upgrading those existing capabilities to a new AI model called the Firefly Image 3 Model. According to the company, the update will improve both the quality and variety of the content that the features generates.

Adobe’s new AI tools will make your next creative project a breeze

By Jess Weatherbed, a news writer focused on creative industries, computing, and internet culture. To its credit, two of the three options Generative Remove suggested did provide usable alternatives. Unfortunately, the Bitcoin option was the first one, which (whether Adobe intends this or not) tells an editor that it is what the platform feels is the best result. While this kind of makes sense if you don’t think about it too hard, it also is completely counterintuitive to the concept of the name of the tool and the result an editor is expecting. “Select the entire object/person, including its shadow, reflection, and any disconnected parts (such as a hand on someone else’s shoulder). For example, if you select a person and miss their feet, Lightroom tries to rebuild a new person to fit the feet,” the article reads.

“It’s another way to penetrate and radiate the user base,” Gartner analyst Frances Karamouzis said. The new Media Intelligence tool in Premiere Pro follows the introduction of other AI-driven features including Firefly-powered Generative Extend. If I am selecting a body part and asking a tool to fill or remove that space, zero percent of the time would I want it to replace my selection with its eldritch nightmare version of that exact same thing. What I, and any editor doing this, want is for what is selected to be removed as seamlessly as possible. GPU-accelerated, AI-powered video retiming tool can now be used without a host app, for under half the price of a regular plugin license. Internally, IBM is also using Adobe Firefly to streamline workflows, leveraging generative art, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Firefly’s AI capabilities.

Generative Extend is coming to the Adobe Premiere Pro beta

That’s an existing Illustrator feature for creating scalable vector, or easily resizable, versions of an image. According to Adobe, its engineers have enhanced the visual fidelity of the feature’s output. Or perhaps someone likes the look of an image but wishes that the subject were somewhere else in the frame.

• Leading enterprises including the Coca-Cola Company, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Major League Baseball, and Marriott International currently use Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) to power their customer experience initiatives.
• “Dubbing and Lip Sync” can translate and edit lip movement for video audio into 14 different languages, and a new InDesign tool can automatically format text and images for print and digital media using predefined templates.
• One of the biggest announcements for videographers during Adobe Max 2024 is the ability to expand a clip that’s too short.
• Illustrator and Photoshop have received GenAI tools with the goal of improving user experience and allowing more freedom for users to express their creativity and skills.

My advice would be to begin by establishing clear, simple, and practical principles that can guide your efforts. Often, I see companies or organizations focused on what looks good in theory, but their principles aren’t practical. The reason why our principles have stood the test of time is because we designed them to be actionable.

Adobe Firefly Feature Deep Dive

Firefly is featured in numerous Adobe apps, including Photoshop, Express, and Illustrator, and with the introduction of the Firefly Video Model (beta), it is coming to Premiere Pro, Adobe’s venerable video editing software. At the heart of Adobe’s announcements is the expansion of its Firefly family of generative AI models. The company introduced a new Firefly Video Model, currently in beta, which allows users to generate video content from text and image prompts.

While the company was not proactive about alerting users to this change, Adobe does have a detailed FAQ page that includes almost all the information required to understand how Generative Credits work in its apps. As of January 17, Adobe started enforcing generative credit limits “on select plans” and tracking use on all of them. When it comes to generative artificial intelligence (AI), one company that has been at the forefront on the software side is Adobe (ADBE -0.43%). The company has added a number of AI-related features to both its Creative line of products, such as Photoshop, and its Acrobat-led Document Cloud business. Since many mobile devices shoot HDR photos, software has continually expanded its support for HDR image editing, Lightroom among them. With HDR Optimization, Lightroom users can achieve brighter highlights, deeper shadows, and more saturated colors in HDR photos.

For Creative Bloq, Ian combines his experiences to bring the latest news on digital art, VFX and video games and tech, and in his spare time he doodles in Procreate, ArtRage, and Rebelle while finding time to play Xbox and PS5. As some examples above show, it is absolutely possible to get fantastic results using Generative Remove and Generative Fill. But they’re not a panacea, even if that is what photographers want, and more importantly, what Adobe is working toward. There is still need to utilize other non-generative AI tools inside Adobe’s photo software, even though they aren’t always convenient or quick. As its name suggests, Generative Remove generates new pixels using artificial intelligence.

Adobe’s Claims Next Generative AI Features Will Be ’Commercially Safe‘

The new AI features will be available in a stable release of the software “later this year”. Generate Similar, shown above, automatically generates variations of a source image, making it possible to iterate more quickly on design ideas. Users can guide the output by entering a brief text description, with Photoshop automatically matching the lighting and perspective of the foreground objects in the content it generates. In Photoshop 25.9, they are joined by the ability to create entire images from scratch, in the shape of new text-to-image system Generate Image.

“Think of these ‘controls’ as the digital equivalent of the paintbrush in Photoshop,” says Alexandru. If you’re a digital artist fed up with hearing prompt jockeys tell you to get over generative AI art’s impact, then Alexandru Costin, Vice President of Generative AI and Sensei at Adobe, has some good news for you as we begin 2025. Get the latest information about companies, products, careers, and funding in the technology industry across emerging markets globally. I suspect this may be for similar reasons, that Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) works best in 1024 pixel aspect ratios. I’ve found that limiting the expand or fill areas to 1024 pixels improves results.

The company sees this tool as helpful in creating storyboards, generating B-roll clips, or augmenting live-action footage. Labrecque has authored a number of books and video course publications on design and development technologies, tools, and concepts through publishers which include LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com), Peachpit Press, and Adobe. He has spoken at large design and technology conferences such as Adobe MAX and for a variety of smaller creative communities.

• Even if the company isn’t enforcing these limits yet, it didn’t tell users that it was tracking usage either.
• “I think Adobe has done such a great job of integrating new tools to make the process easier,” said Angel Acevedo, graphic designer and director of the apparel company God is a designer.
• At Sundance 2025 in Utah, the creative tech giant has announced a new AI-powered Media Intelligence tool that automatically analyses visuals across thousands of clips in seconds.
• In Q4 of last year, the company generated $569 million in new digital media ARR, so this would be a deceleration and could lead to lower revenue growth in the future.

Further, Firefly offers a variety of camera controls, including angle, motion, and zoom, enabling people to finetune the video results. It’s also possible to generate new video using reference images, which may be especially helpful when trying to create B-roll that can seamlessly fit into an existing project. Adobe is one of several technology companies working on AI video generation capabilities. OpenAI’s Sora promises to let users create minute-long video clips, while Meta recently announced its Movie Gen video model and Google unveiled Veo back in May. It is available today through a limited public beta to garner initial feedback from a small group of creative professionals, which will be used to continue to refine and improve the model, according to Adobe.

They utilize AI to significantly speed up and improve image editing without taking control away from the photographer. To address this, Adobe founded the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) in 2019 to build a more trustworthy and transparent digital ecosystem for consumers. The CAI implementsour solution to build trust online– called Content Credentials. Content Credentials include “ingredients” or important information such as the creator’s name, the date an image was created, what tools were used to create an image and any edits that were made along the way.

The Generate Similar tool is fairly self-explanatory — it can generate variants of an object in the image until you find one you prefer. Adobe is upgrading its Premiere Pro video editing application with a generative AI model called the Firefly Video Model. It powers a new feature called Generative Extend that can extend a clip by two seconds at beginning or end. These latest advancements mark another significant step in Adobe’s integration of generative AI into its creative suite.

This upcoming tool takes the power of everything seen in Adobe Firefly AI functions and applies it to generative video. It works incredibly well, even tracking objects that move against similarly toned or colored backgrounds. Photoshop’s latest AI features bring in more precise removal tools, allowing you to brush an area for Photoshop to identify the distraction and remove it seamlessly.

Its Content Credentials watermarks are applied to whatever the video model outputs. In Firefly Services, a collection of creative and generative APIs for enterprises, Adobe unveiled new offerings to scale production workflows. This includes Dubbing and Lip Sync, now in beta, which uses generative AI for video content to translate spoken dialogue into different languages while maintaining the sound of the original voice with matching lip sync.

In addition, he is the founder of Securities.io, a platform focused on investing in cutting-edge technologies that are redefining the future and reshaping entire sectors. As generative AI continues to scale, it will be even more important to promote widespread adoption of Content Credentials to restore trust in digital content. For those seeking more control, consider exploring tools like Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI. While they have a steeper learning curve and require a GPU with at least 6-8GB of VRAM, they can easily blow Photoshop out of the water.

While a lot of the focus has been on generative AI, Adobe continues to roll out workflow-focused AI features across its Creative Cloud suite too. I’d argue this increase is mostly coming from all the generative AI investments for Adobe Firefly. But speak to serious photographers who use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing their photos, and I’d be willing to wager that most of them don’t need any of the generative tools that Adobe wants to sell to us via this price increase.

• “I think Adobe has done such a great job of integrating new tools to make the process easier,” said Angel Acevedo, graphic designer and director of the apparel company God is a designer.
• At Sundance 2025 in Utah, the creative tech giant has announced a new AI-powered Media Intelligence tool that automatically analyses visuals across thousands of clips in seconds.
• In Q4 of last year, the company generated $569 million in new digital media ARR, so this would be a deceleration and could lead to lower revenue growth in the future.

Further, Firefly offers a variety of camera controls, including angle, motion, and zoom, enabling people to finetune the video results. It’s also possible to generate new video using reference images, which may be especially helpful when trying to create B-roll that can seamlessly fit into an existing project. Adobe is one of several technology companies working on AI video generation capabilities. OpenAI’s Sora promises to let users create minute-long video clips, while Meta recently announced its Movie Gen video model and Google unveiled Veo back in May. It is available today through a limited public beta to garner initial feedback from a small group of creative professionals, which will be used to continue to refine and improve the model, according to Adobe.

They utilize AI to significantly speed up and improve image editing without taking control away from the photographer. To address this, Adobe founded the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) in 2019 to build a more trustworthy and transparent digital ecosystem for consumers. The CAI implementsour solution to build trust online– called Content Credentials. Content Credentials include “ingredients” or important information such as the creator’s name, the date an image was created, what tools were used to create an image and any edits that were made along the way.

The Generate Similar tool is fairly self-explanatory — it can generate variants of an object in the image until you find one you prefer. Adobe is upgrading its Premiere Pro video editing application with a generative AI model called the Firefly Video Model. It powers a new feature called Generative Extend that can extend a clip by two seconds at beginning or end. These latest advancements mark another significant step in Adobe’s integration of generative AI into its creative suite.

This upcoming tool takes the power of everything seen in Adobe Firefly AI functions and applies it to generative video. It works incredibly well, even tracking objects that move against similarly toned or colored backgrounds. Photoshop’s latest AI features bring in more precise removal tools, allowing you to brush an area for Photoshop to identify the distraction and remove it seamlessly.

Its Content Credentials watermarks are applied to whatever the video model outputs. In Firefly Services, a collection of creative and generative APIs for enterprises, Adobe unveiled new offerings to scale production workflows. This includes Dubbing and Lip Sync, now in beta, which uses generative AI for video content to translate spoken dialogue into different languages while maintaining the sound of the original voice with matching lip sync.

In addition, he is the founder of Securities.io, a platform focused on investing in cutting-edge technologies that are redefining the future and reshaping entire sectors. As generative AI continues to scale, it will be even more important to promote widespread adoption of Content Credentials to restore trust in digital content. For those seeking more control, consider exploring tools like Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI. While they have a steeper learning curve and require a GPU with at least 6-8GB of VRAM, they can easily blow Photoshop out of the water.

While a lot of the focus has been on generative AI, Adobe continues to roll out workflow-focused AI features across its Creative Cloud suite too. I’d argue this increase is mostly coming from all the generative AI investments for Adobe Firefly. But speak to serious photographers who use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing their photos, and I’d be willing to wager that most of them don’t need any of the generative tools that Adobe wants to sell to us via this price increase.

Why Accessible Casino Experiences Matter More Than Ever in 2026

We’re living in an era where accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential. For Australian casino players, accessible casino experiences have become the difference between enjoying gaming and feeling left out. Whether you’re visually impaired, use mobility aids, or simply prefer intuitive interfaces, modern online casinos are finally stepping up. Let’s explore why this shift matters and how it’s transforming the way we play.

The Growing Demand for Inclusive Gaming

Demand for accessible gaming platforms has surged dramatically. More players are actively seeking casinos that cater to diverse needs, whether that’s screen reader compatibility, adjustable font sizes, or high-contrast display modes. We’ve seen this shift driven by younger demographics who expect inclusivity as standard, not an afterthought.

The numbers speak for themselves. Statistics show that roughly 1 in 6 Australians experience some form of disability or accessibility need. When casinos ignore this demographic, they’re missing significant revenue and loyalty opportunities. Players who find accessible platforms become loyal customers because they’ve finally found a space designed with them in mind.

Barriers That Players Face in Traditional Casinos

Traditional brick-and-mortar casinos present real obstacles:

• Visual barriers: Flashing lights, complex layouts, and small print create challenges for visually impaired players
• Mobility challenges: Crowded floors, narrow pathways, and awkwardly placed gaming machines exclude wheelchair users
• Cognitive load: Overwhelming environments with excessive noise and stimuli frustrate players with sensory sensitivities
• Social anxiety: High-pressure atmospheres and crowds deter players seeking lower-stress gaming

Online casinos eliminate many of these physical barriers entirely, but only when designed with accessibility in mind. The digital realm offers unprecedented opportunity to level the playing field.

Digital Accessibility: The Game-Changer for Australian Players

Digital platforms represent genuine liberation for many Australian players. Online casinos remove geographical limitations, you’re not confined to Sydney or Melbourne establishments. More importantly, they allow customisation that physical venues simply can’t match.

We’re seeing platforms now offer keyboard navigation for players who can’t use mice, fully screen-reader compatible interfaces for the visually impaired, and adjustable animations for those with vestibular disorders. A rocketplay casino review demonstrates how modern platforms prioritise these features alongside traditional gaming offerings.

The shift is more than convenience: it’s dignity. Players can enjoy gaming on their own terms, in their own space, with technology that works for them rather than against them.

Key Features That Make Online Casinos More Welcoming

Interface Design and Navigation

Modern accessible casinos prioritise clean, logical design. We’re talking intuitive menu structures, consistent button placements, and minimal unnecessary animations. Buttons use descriptive labels, not vague icons, so everyone understands what each click does. Colour schemes meet WCAG contrast standards, ensuring readability for players with colour blindness or low vision.

Mobile Compatibility and Device Flexibility

Mobile accessibility isn’t optional, it’s essential. Responsive design means games function seamlessly whether you’re playing on smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Touch targets are appropriately sized (never cramped), and the interface adapts sensibly to portrait or landscape orientation. We’re also seeing better support for assistive technologies like voice control and haptic feedback across mobile platforms.

How Accessibility Enhances the Overall Player Experience

Here’s the paradox: accessibility benefits everyone, not just players with disabilities. We’ve noticed that features designed for accessibility often improve the experience across the board.

Universal benefits of accessible design:

When we design for accessibility from the ground up, we create experiences that are clearer, faster, and more enjoyable for everyone. It’s not about compromise, it’s about thoughtful design that works harder for all our players.

Hippocratic AI raises $141M to staff hospitals with clinical AI agents

Story Partners with Stability AI to Empower Open-Source Innovation for Creators and Developers

Meanwhile, Kristina Dulaney, RN, PMH-C, the founder of Cherished Mom, an organization dedicated to solving maternal mental health challenges, helped to create an AI agent that’s focused on helping new mothers navigate such problems with postpartum mental health assessments and depression screening. The startup was initially focused on creating generative AI chatbots to support clinicians and other healthcare professionals, but has since switched its focus to patients themselves. Its most advanced models take advantage of the latest developments in AI agents, which are a form of AI that can perform more complex tasks while working unsupervised. Despite rapid advancements in AI, creators in open-source ecosystems face significant challenges in monetizing derivative works and securing proper attribution.

Story, the global intellectual property blockchain, has announced its integration with Stability AI’s state-of-the-art models to revolutionize open-source AI development. This collaboration enables creators, developers, and artists to capture the value they contribute to the AI ecosystem by leveraging blockchain technology to ensure proper attribution, tracking, and monetization of creative works generated through AI. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is investing in AI and biotech to lead the way in innovation.

In a statement, Raspberry AI said the funding would be used to accelerate its product development and add top engineering, sales and marketing talent to its team. But with U.S. companies raising and/or spending record sums on new AI infrastructure that many experts have noted depreciate rapidly (due to hardware/chip and software advancements), the question remains which vision of the future will win out in the end to become the dominant AI provider for the world. Or maybe it will always be a multiplicity of models each with a smaller market share? That’s followed by more extensive evaluations and safety assessments by an extensive network of more than 6,000 nurses and 300 doctors, who will confirm that it passes all required safety tests.

Once the AI agent is up and running, the clinicians who created it will be able to claim a share of the revenue it generates from the startup’s customers. Currently the technology is being used by Under Armour, MCM Worldwide, Gruppo Teddy and Li & Fung to create and iterate apparel, footwear and accessories styles. The company’s existing investors Greycroft, Correlation Ventures and MVP Ventures also joined in the round, along with notable angel investors, including Gokul Rajaram and Ken Pilot. Clearly, even as he espouses a commitment to open source AI, Zuck is not convinced that DeepSeek’s approach of optimizing for efficiency while leveraging far fewer GPUs than major labs is the right one for Meta, or for the future of AI.

Raspberry AI secures 24 million US dollars in funding round

Story is the world’s intellectual property blockchain, transforming IP into networks that transcend mediums and platforms, unleashing global creativity and liquidity. By integrating Stability AI’s advanced models, Story is taking a significant step toward building a fair and sustainable internet for creators and developers in the age of generative AI. Hippocratic AI said it’s necessary to have clinicians onboard because they have, over the course of their careers, developed deep expertise in their respective fields, as well as the practical insights to help cure specific medical conditions and the clinical workflows involved.

Story aims to bridge this gap by combining Stability AI’s cutting-edge technology with blockchain’s ability to secure digital property rights. For example, creators could register unique styles or voices as intellectual property on Story with transparent usage terms. This would enable others to train and fine-tune AI models using this IP, ensuring that all contributors in the creative chain benefit when outputs are monetized.

Holger Mueller of Constellation Research Inc. said Hippocratic AI is bringing two of the leading technology trends to the healthcare industry, namely no-code or low-code software development and AI agents. The launch is a bold step forward in healthcare innovation, giving clinicians the opportunity to participate in the design of AI agents that can address various aspects of patient care. It says clinicians can create an AI agent prototype that specializes in their area of focus in less than 30 minutes, and around three to four hours to develop one that can be tested. Shah said the last nine months since the company’s previous $50 million funding round have seen it make tremendous progress. During that time, it has received its first U.S. patents, fully evaluated and verified the safety of its first AI healthcare agents, and signed contracts with 23 health systems, payers and pharma clients.

For instance, one of its AI agents is specialized in chronic care management, medication checks and post-discharge follow-up regarding specific conditions such as kidney failure and congestive heart failure. The healthcare-focused artificial intelligence startup Hippocratic AI Inc. said today it has closed on a $141 million Series B funding round that brings its total amount raised to more than $278 million. “This round of financing will accelerate the development and deployment of the Hippocratic generative AI-driven super staffing and continue our quest to make healthcare abundance a reality,” he promised. Raspberry AI, the generative AI platform for fashion creatives, has secured 24 million US dollars in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Today, we’re going in-depth on blockchain innovation with Robert Roose, an entrepreneur who’s on a mission to fix today’s broken monetary system. Hippocratic AI’s early customers include Arkos Health Inc., Belong Health Inc., Cincinnati Children’s, Fraser Health Authority (Canada), GuideHealth, Honor Health, Deca Dental Management, LLC, OhioHealth, WellSpan Health and other well-known healthcare systems and hospitals.

By incorporating this wisdom into its AI agents, it’s making them safer and improving patient outcomes, it said. Crucially, any agent created using its platform will undergo extensive safety training by both the creator and Hippocratic AI’s own staff. Every clinician will have access to a dashboard to track their AI agent’s performance and use and receive feedback for further development.

All these indicate the commitment a16z has in shaping the future of technology and healthcare through strategic investments. Both platforms use Stability AI’s models to bring creators’ visions to life and Story’s blockchain technology to enable provenance and attribution throughout the creative process. These real-world applications highlight how creators can safeguard their intellectual property while thriving in a shared creative economy. Raspberry AI offers brands and manufacturing creative teams technology solutions, which can help accelerate each stage of the fashion product development cycle to increase speed to market and profitability while reducing costs. Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, is one of the leading AI investors and targets only innovative startups. They participated in the round that funded Anysphere on January 14, 2025, with a total sum of $105 million for an AI coding tool known as Cursor, whose valuation has reached $2.5 billion.

In order to ensure its AI agents can do their jobs safely, Hippocratic AI says it only works with licensed clinicians to develop them, taking steps to verify their qualifications and experience first. Once clinicians have built their agents, they’ll be submitted to the startup for an initial round of testing. Through the Hippocratic AI Agent App Store, healthcare organizations and hospitals will be able to access a range of specialized AI agents for different aspects of medical care.

The startup was co-founded by Chief Executive Officer and serial entrepreneur Munjal Shah and a group of physicians, hospital administrators, healthcare professionals and AI researchers from organizations including El Camino Health LLC, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Microsoft Corp., Google and Nvidia Corp. PIP Labs, an initial core contributor to the Story Network, is backed by investors including a16z crypto, Endeavor, and Polychain. Co-founded by a serial entrepreneur with a $440M exit and DeepMind’s youngest PM, PIP Labs boasts a veteran founding executive team with expertise in consumer tech, generative AI, and Web3 infrastructure. The startup has also created other AI agents for tasks like pre- and post-surgery wound care, extreme heat wave preparation, home health checks, diabetes screening and education, and many more besides. The startup said its AI Agent creators include Dr. Vanessa Dorismond MD, MA, MAS, a distinguished obstetrician and gynecologist at El Camino Women’s Medical Group and Teal Health, who helped to create an AI agent that’s focused on cervical cancer check-ins and enhancing patient education. According to the startup, the objective of these AI agents is to try and solve the massive shortage of trained nurses, social workers and nutritionists in the healthcare industry, both in the U.S. and globally.

The same day, a16z also led a Series A investment in Slingshot AI, which has raised a total of $40 million to create a foundation model for psychology. Those investments highlight the commitment of the group to using AI to address important issues and are also focusing on how AI can improve different industries, including healthcare and consumer services. In general, a16z is committed to supporting AI innovations that could have a profound impact on society. We are thrilled to see our models used in Story’s blockchain technology to ensure proper attribution and reward contributors,” said Scott Trowbridge, Vice President of Stability AI. Others include Kacie Spencer, DNP, RN, the chief nursing officer at Adtalem Global Education Inc., who has more than 20 years of experience in emergency nursing and clinical education. Her AI agent is focused on patient education for the proper installation of child car seats.

It participated in an Anysphere round that had the company raising $105 million on January 14, 2025, when it pushed the valuation up to $2.5 billion. Beyond this, it has also released a $500 million Biotech Ecosystem Venture Fund with Eli Lilly to place a focus on health technologies, but with the aspect of innovative applications. On the same day, they led a Series A investment in Slingshot AI, a company that’s developing advanced generative AI technology for mental health. Additionally, a16z invested in Raspberry AI to bring generative AI to the front of fashion design and production. In December 2024, they envisioned a future in which AI was used aggressively in nearly all sectors.
