✎ Story body
Claude Sonnet 5.5 and the Adobe integration landed on the same day, but the week's related coverage reads more like separate stories than one cross-cutting thread.
What happened
On Sept 28, Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 at unchanged pricing; press reports cite 30%+ faster responses and up to 30% lower cost per task. The same day brought news of Gemini and Claude integrating with Adobe to carry AI-made images and documents through editing and finishing, alongside AWS open-sourcing its Strands harness and remarks from Claude Code's creator.
Why it matters
Faster, cheaper models at flat pricing bear directly on adoption costs, and the Adobe tie-in points to AI output moving into the final stage of creative workflows. The speed and cost figures are press-reported and not independently verified, and peripheral items such as spacecraft autonomy are only loosely related.
What to watch
Measured performance of Sonnet 5.5 and its uptake in existing apps, and how far the Adobe integration's availability and supported tools expand.
