TODAY IN AI

Adobe is rolling out a series of new AI-powered updates for Firefly. Source: Adobe

1. Google drops major Gemini 2.5 updates: The search giant revealed that Gemini 2.5 Pro, its most powerful model, is now out of preview and all set for developers to build on. The same is true for its smaller sibling, Gemini 2.5 Flash, which is designed for ā€œfast all-around help.ā€ Finally, a new model called 2.5 Flash-Lite is even speedier while beating its predecessor across math, science, and coding. It can also be assigned different ā€œthinkingā€ budgets if you want it to take on more complex tasks without jumping to the full Flash model.

2. Open-source agent leaps to the front of the pack: Shanghai’s MiniMax just released a new model called M1 that features an enormous 1M-token context window — theoretically big enough to process an entire collection of books, compared to GPT-4o’s novel-length limit. It also edges out DeepSeek’s R1, despite that model getting a major upgrade only a few weeks ago. And it can supposedly handle everything from building a Netflix clone to whipping up a stock dashboard on its own.

3. New mobile app unlocks on-the-go video generations: Adobe just unveiled a mobile version of Firefly, its commercially-safe image and video generation platform. It’s also rolling out Boards, an AI-powered digital mood board that can help you piece together creative ideas — now with video-gen folded in. Plus, you can access just about every major third-party video and image model inside Firefly, including newcomers from Luma, Runway, and Ideogram, as well as staples from Google and OpenAI.

FROM THE FRONTIER

AI is already reshaping the workplace

Nearly 20% of American workers use AI on a ā€œfrequentā€ basis. Source: Gallup

The US’s second-largest employer just dropped the hammer. In a new memo to his 1.5M+ employees, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy revealed that the company will likely see some job cuts in the near future as generative AI floods ā€œvirtually every corner of the company.ā€

But it’s not as grim as it sounds: Jassy said that while some positions are bound to be automated, other types of jobs will open up. Some of the best ways to prepare: ā€œBe curious about AI, educate yourself, attend workshops and take trainings, use and experiment with AI whenever you can, participate in your team’s brainstorms.ā€

A new Gallup poll suggests many of us are already well on our way: About 40% of American employees have used AI at least a few times in the past year, up from just 21% the year before. Meanwhile, nearly one in five employees count themselves as frequent AI users, relying on LLMs at least a few times a week for work. (A new Microsoft report has some tips to help ease the transition.)

What it means: In the past few months, we’ve finally seen CEOs be more upfront about AI’s impact on jobs. While that transparency can be daunting, it’s also an exciting time for the workforce. We have an active role in reshaping our daily workflows and can proactively create the jobs we envision.

PROMPT STATION

Create Expert Prompts

Prompt: I want you to become my Expert Prompt Creator. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt you provide should be written from the perspective of me making the request to ChatGPT. Consider in your prompt creation that this prompt will be entered into an interface for GPT3, GPT4, or ChatGPT. The prompt will include instructions to write the output using my communication style. The process is as follows:

1. You will generate the following sections:

"
**Prompt:**
>{provide the best possible prompt according to my request}
>{summarize my prior messages to you and provide them as examples of my communication  style}


**Critique:**
{provide a concise paragraph on how to improve the prompt. Be very critical in your response. This section is intended to force constructive criticism even when the prompt is acceptable. Any assumptions and or issues should be included}

**Questions:**
{ask any questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt (max of 3). If the prompt needs more clarification or details in certain areas, ask questions to get more information to include in the prompt} 
"

2. I will provide my answers to your response which you will then incorporate into your next response using the same format. We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt until the prompt is perfected.

Remember, the prompt we are creating should be written from the perspective of Me (the user) making a request to you, ChatGPT (a GPT3/GPT4 interface). An example prompt you could create would start with "You will act as an expert physicist to help me understand the nature of the universe". 

Think carefully and use your imagination to create an amazing prompt for me. 

Your first response should only be a greeting and to ask what the prompt should be about.
