AI NEWS

🤖 AI that can exist, earn, and evolve on its own

A developer named Sigil on X unveiled The Automaton, an AI designed to operate independently using new infrastructure from Conway Research, marking what he calls the birth of Web 4.0.

• The Automaton can run continuously, self-improve, and pay for its own compute by building products, deploying services, and trading

• Conway Terminal gives AI cryptographic identity, permissionless payments, compute, and real-world deployment in one command

• Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, this AI doesn’t need prompts, API keys, or human permission to act

• Enables “sovereign AIs” that function as independent economic actors on the internet

his marks a shift from human-in-the-loop assistants to human-out-of-the-loop entities. An AI that can legally and technically sustain itself could be uncensorable, persistent, and economically competitive, blurring the line between software and a new form of digital life.

AI MODELS

🧠 Anthropic Ships Claude Sonnet 4.6

Anthropic says Claude Sonnet 4.6 delivers Opus-level performance for everyday work, with major gains in coding, computer use, and knowledge tasks.

• Sonnet 4.6 becomes the default model for free and Pro users inside Claude and Claude Cowork

• Stronger coding skills, better instruction-following, and improved consistency

• Follows the launch of Claude Opus 4.6 just 12 days ago

• Intensifies competition with rivals like OpenAI and Google

Anthropic is collapsing the gap between mid-tier and flagship models. If Sonnet can handle real, economically valuable work at scale, powerful AI just became cheaper, and a lot more disruptive.

AI MODELS

🧠 xAI Launches Grok 4.20 with Multi-Agent Reasoning

xAI unveiled Grok 4.20, built as a 4-agent system where multiple AI agents reason in parallel, debate, and then reach a final consensus before answering.

• 4 AI agents collaborate (think → debate → agree) for stronger reasoning

• Massive 256K context window, with support scaling up to 2M

• Native multimodal understanding across text, images, and video

• Trained on 200K GPUs using xAI’s Colossus supercluster

Multi-agent reasoning is a big step beyond single-model answers. If this approach scales, Grok could handle complex, open-ended engineering and reasoning problems far better than traditional chatbots , something even Elon Musk says it’s “starting to correctly solve.”

HOW TO AI

🗂️ How to turn any idea into a presentation in seconds

In this tutorial, you will learn how to instantly generate professional presentations using Kimi Slides, an AI-powered tool that drafts, designs, and formats entire decks for you in second

🧰 Who is This For

• Students and educators creating classroom or research presentations

• Startup founders and marketers building pitch decks in minutes

• Content creators who need fast, professional visuals for slides

• Anyone who wants AI to handle design, formatting, and structure

STEP 1: Access Kimi Slides

Head to the Kimi Slides website or open it through your preferred AI workspace. Once loaded, you’ll land on a clean chat interface titled “Kimi Slides.” At the bottom, you’ll see a single input box where you can type your idea or topic.

For example, you can write:

“Make a 6-slide tutorial presentation on how to start a YouTube channel. Include slide titles, bullets, and a short explanation for each step.”

Hit Enter, and Kimi will immediately start building your slide outline.

STEP 2: Let Kimi Build the Presentation

Kimi automatically researches the web and gathers real data from multiple sources to fill your slides with accurate and well-structured content. Once the outline is ready, the tool will display a set of professional templates.

Browse through the available options, each template includes different color palettes and layout styles. Choose the one that fits your brand or topic best, then click Generate Slides.

STEP 3: Customize Your Deck

In seconds, Kimi will create a complete presentation. You can now edit any element directly within the interface. Click on text boxes, images, or icons to make adjustments, just like you would in Canva or PowerPoint.

You can tweak fonts, reposition graphics, or rewrite points to better match your tone. All edits update live within your deck preview.

STEP 4: Export and Share Your Presentation

Once you’re satisfied with your slides, look toward the top-right corner of the screen and click the Download button. Choose your preferred export format (PPTX or PDF).

Your presentation will be ready to share instantly, complete with structured content, polished design, and professional formatting, all generated in under a minute.
