IBM Palette: a 20B open-weight model that builds decks in your design language
IBM Research announced Palette on November 3 on Hugging Face: a 20B open-weight model fine-tuned to build slide decks, where a designer agent plans the deck and a coder agent draws each slide; on PresentBench it placed second overall, 1.1 points behind NotebookLM.
Why it matters
A small model that keeps a team's brand style instead of drifting to a house style, aimed at teams whose confidential content cannot leave their own systems.
What you could build with it
A consultancy could run Palette on its own servers to turn client reports into on-brand decks without sending confidential material to an outside model, with a designer reviewing each deck before it goes to the client.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge: a single research announcement with vendor-reported PresentBench scores and no independent hands-on reports yet.
