Adobe's latest Firefly push is more interesting as workflow design than as model hype. Bringing agentic generation and editing deeper into Premiere, Illustrator, and the wider Creative Cloud suggests AI value comes from staying inside the creative stack instead of sending work out to separate novelty tools.

Game production pipelines are starting to treat AI integration as core tooling
Epic's Unreal Engine 6 roadmap stands out because it frames MCP and model integrations as productivity infrastructure for development teams. When a major engine starts wiring Claude, Gemini, and similar tools into the pipeline story, AI stops looking like a plugin experiment and starts looking like expected production tooling.

Scoped access is becoming the missing layer between agents and enterprise systems
