Adobe's Firefly Design, Graph and Builder: Three Betas, and Credit Rates Now Listed for the New Models

12 November 2026 · RenderBob team

Adobe's MAX release puts Firefly Design and Firefly Graph in beta and Firefly Builder in private beta. Credit rates for several new partner models are now on Adobe's help page.

Adobe's 10 November press release announces Firefly Design (beta), Firefly Graph (beta) and Firefly Builder (private beta). The Next Web's account of the briefing adds who can use them today. Where a status line appears only in that account, it is reported, not something we clicked through in the product.

What each one is

• Firefly Design (beta). Adobe: one canvas for illustration, image editing, animation, 3D and print, taking a brand identity or social campaign from first idea to final review. The Next Web says Adobe describes it as included with Creative Cloud.
• Firefly Graph (beta). Adobe: a tool for building and iterating on custom, repeatable workflows. The Next Web: workflows you can run again.
• Firefly Builder (private beta). Adobe: a plain-language description becomes an interactive, on-brand prototype of a website, presentation or app, with no code. The Next Web says there is a waitlist.

Models on Adobe's own pages

The partner-models page lists Dreamina Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance, text and image to video), Kling 4.0 Omni (image to video and video to video), GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst and Flare (OpenAI, text to image and prompt to edit), and Gemini 3.1 with Nano Banana 2 (Google). The press release adds Topaz Labs' Wonder 4 and Image HDR for upscaling, denoising, deblurring and sharpening. The Next Web's "Nano Banana 2.1" does not appear on the partner page we read. The press release's partner list is Adobe, Topaz Labs, ByteDance, Google, Kling, OpenAI and ElevenLabs.

What the credit pages say

The press release announces no change to plan prices or monthly credit allowances. The partner-models page does price several of the new models, in Adobe credits. Kling 4.0 text and image to video: 35 credits per second at 720p with audio, 50 at 1080p. Video to video and reference to video on that row: 40 and 60. Seedance 2.5: 45, 95 and 230 credits per second at 480p, 720p and 1080p. GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst and Flare: 5, 20 or 40 credits at low, medium and high, marked for a limited time, at 2K. Gemini 3.1 (Nano Banana 2): 20 credits at 1K and at 2K, 30 at 4K, also for a limited time.

Firefly Graph is metered even when the same feature is unmetered elsewhere, Adobe's credits FAQ says. The Graph table includes mask, depth, normal, albedo and irradiance nodes at 10 credits per image, and two language-model nodes at 0 credits for a limited time. Other Graph nodes follow the premium or partner rates. If the total cannot be known before you run, because a node varies its output or runs a variable number of times, the Run button shows "Credits vary" instead of an estimate. We found no credit figure for a Builder prototype, no date for leaving beta, and no confirmation that the new models are on an unlimited-generation list. The Next Web's list of tools available to all Firefly users today is Edit Text, Retouch, Relight and Quick Actions.

What a saved chain is good for

A saved chain of models and steps is a recipe a production team can audit. A chain that calls several models can spend credits quickly, and a Credits vary run does not tell you the total until it finishes.

A checklist before building on a beta workflow tool

• Is it included in your plan, or will it need a higher tier when it leaves beta?
• What does one run cost? Read the node price. If the control says Credits vary, the total is unknown until the run finishes.
• Can a workflow be exported or versioned, or does it live only inside the app? Adobe's pages we read do not say.
• What happens to the recipe if a model in the chain is withdrawn? Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) is already being removed.
• Who can see the outputs of a shared workflow, including clients?

What to watch

Whether Design and Graph leave beta on the same plan, whether Builder gets a published credit cost, and whether any unlimited-generation list picks up the new models.

RenderBob 3 and this story

RenderBob 3 keeps generation on its own timeline lane with the model chosen clip by clip, so a team can compare models on a shot and keep the references and prompt logs behind each decision.
