Genspark announced Gen-1 Slides, billed as its first model designed for knowledge work, now powering Standard mode in Genspark AI Slides. Key points:
- Trained with Fireworks AI from an open-weight base
- Claims frontier-quality decks at roughly 1/17th of Opus 5's price
- Pitch: fewer midnight fixes, better decks by default
The "world's first AI model for work" framing is marketing-heavy; real capability awaits third-party benchmarks.
