In 600 edits rated by five professionals, the Flux-2-Klein-9B editor failed 42.7% of the time. A standard language model given close-ups and measured statistics picked a usable result 81.3% of the time with Qwen3.8-27B, versus 74.8% for EditScore-72B. EditAgent needs about ten times more compute. Researchers also derived about 26,000 verified examples to train faster editors. Adobe added agents to Creative Cloud apps in June in public beta.
