Hub Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is either a field of research, the most important technical innovation of mankind, its downfall – or simply a pipe dream from Silicon Valley. Can machines really be intelligent? What is intelligence anyway? What opportunities does AI technology offer, and what are the risks? From neural networks to the science fiction vision of super AI, from deepfakes to AI surveillance: THE DECODER delivers the latest AI news and information on all facets of artificial intelligence.

Kimi is rolling out a 48-hour free trial for its new slide generator powered by Google's Nano Banana Pro model. During the trial, users can try "Agentic Slides" for free and automatically turn PDFs, images, and documents into presentations. The slides can be edited in the browser and exported as PowerPoint files. The agent-driven K2 search tool is included. You can access the offer through this link, but registration is required.

Infographics generated by Nano Banana Pro can be turned into editable text with one click. The tool extracts the text, removes the original image lettering, and replaces it with editable text that may look different. However, an initial test showed uneven results, with some text converting properly and other parts staying unchanged, especially on slides 6 and 7 of a presentation based on this article. The tool also doesn't apply company design templates, which limits its usefulness. But it's still a cool toy.

A new Financial Times analysis found that several OpenAI partners have taken on roughly 96 billion dollars in debt to fund data center and chip expansion. The list includes major players like Oracle and Softbank, along with specialized providers such as Coreweave. According to the report, Coreweave's liabilities and lease obligations far exceed its expected annual revenue of five billion dollars.

The borrowing isn't limited to a few companies. Bank of America says the five largest tech firms, including Amazon and Microsoft, have issued 121 billion dollars in new debt this year - about four times their usual annual average. Deutsche Bank also reports rising credit default swap costs for companies like Oracle, pointing to growing concern among lenders and investors.
