ADM 3 Cloud edits a photo better than it makes one from scratch
ADM 3 Cloud is Apple's new image model on Private Cloud Compute. It shipped with iOS 27 on September 14 and powers the photo editing tools in Photos, like Spatial Reframing, plus Image Playground and Genmoji.
In our testing, it's strongest at swapping and changing things in a photo. Clean-ups and fixes land a little below its overall rank, and reframing a shot is its weak spot. Making images from scratch is weaker again.
It's available through Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro and later, and on M1 or later iPads and Macs, with daily usage limits.
With no API, we tested it through a Mac app we built on Image Playground. Apple refused 8% of our prompts. We evaluated it on only the images it returned.
