| Anthropic just dropped "Claude for Financial Services"
|
| -New models scoring higher on finance specific tasks
|
| -MCP connectors for popular datasets/datastores including
| FactSet, PitchBook, S&P Global, Snowflake, Databricks, Box,
| Daloopa, etc
|
| This looks a lot like what Claude Code did for coding: better
| models, good integrations, etc. But finance isn't pure text, the
| day-to-day medium is still Excel and PowerPoint.Curious to see
| how this plays out in the long to medium term.
|
| Devs already live in textual IDEs and CLIs, so an inline LLM
| feels native. Analysts live in nested spreadsheets, model
| diagrams, and slide decks. Is a side-car chat window enough? Will
| folks really migrate fully into Claude?
|
| Accuracy a big issue everywhere, but finance has always seemed
| particularly sensitive. While their new model benchmarks well, it
| still seems to fall short of what an IBank/PE MD might expect?
|
| Curious to hear from anyone thats been in the pilot group or got
| access to the 1 month demo today. Early pilots at Bridgewater,
| NBIM, AIG, CBA claim good productivity gains for analysts and
| underwriters.

| Well, that's what I spend a good amount of time doing, and
| no, these things aren't going to spontaneously generate alpha
| and give "stock picks." Well, some of the deeper concepts can
| probably help do so, but then you're competing against
| hideously massive budgets in the same arena.
|
| That said I do think that these tools could be a huge help to
| "daytrading". They could help with the screening and idea
| generation process. The concept of "factors" or underlying
| characteristics which drive correlation within certain
| baskets of instruments, is already well established in the
| finance industry. And indeed that concept can be widened out
| beyond the purely academic lens, so you may have a basket of
| interest rate sensitive names, or names that are one thematic
| hop away from a meme sector that is taking off. LLM style
| tools would be great there. Ex: I remember during COVID that
| for a week mask companies were taking off. One of these names
| also had a huge run up during the SARS epidemic. Pretty basic
| LLM style tools would be great at pointing stuff like that
| out, generating lists of equities which had unusual activity
| during pandemics within the last 20 years, etc. Much better
| than hard coding in filters to an old school screener.
|
| Oh, I think machine learning is also being used in
| Nowcasting. That's where you take the current economic
| situation, compare it to previous regimes, and then sort of
| map out of probability distribution for likely forward paths.
| Good AI workload. I actually think it would be pretty cool to
| see something like that intraday (if large tech stocks are
| liquidating which of these smaller momentum tech names on my
| watch list have been resilient recently?). The thing is
| there's sort of the retail trading space, where most of the
| tools are fluff, and then the hardcore space where software
| engineers are working in OCAML and databases and have
| absolutely no need for more "presentable" tools. In
| daytrading, there is a big gap inbetween thet, and it's
| surprisingly empty.
|
| In Global Macro/portfolio managent adjacent areas (ex:
| NowcastingIQ.com, was browsing that earlier today thus my
| thoughts on the matter) you can find humans who don't know
| how to code who want to use these tools and can afford
| $25,000 a year, but again in Daytrading - the actual intraday
| trading stuff that makes real money - there's less of an
| illusion that it isn't a robotic warzone.

|
| It's a slightly different modality for the application. Nothing
| AI does wasn't possible before. You could always "create a price
| performance chart showing a stock's movement with key events
| annotated since May". You could also always buy dozens of
| software that will not just give you all the charts you could
| possible think of, but any one that you could even dream of.
| Check tradingview.com or koyfin.com for a taste of what a "free"
| offering can give you. Then imagine what the 100k software gives
| you.
|
| The difference is the interface. You'll 100% need someone
| onboarding on their 100k custom trading platform. It might take
| you months to master it if you never saw one of these things
| before. Once you have learned it though, your productivity and
| velocity is expected to significantly increase.
|
| Now with the AI interface, you don't need someone onboarding you
| or months to learn. You can ask the AI to "build a benchmarking
| analysis against Velocity's athletic footwear comps" instead of
| learning how to learning how to use the software to create such a
| thing. Maybe you never saw financial analysis software before,
| but you spent the last 20 years analysing financials by hand (in
| 2025 for some reason) and now you wanna onboard to a financial
| software. You don't need to "learn" anything. Just describe your
| thoughts to the AI and it figures the interface for you.
|
| How transformative was that for you? I don't know. Maybe your
| financial analysis tool is as big of a piece of shit as Reactjs
| is and it's mind-numbingly tedious to generate such report. "It's
| just a 75 clicks that you have to do" and the AI interface saves
| you from doing that like it saves me from using React's shitty
