Gradient Releases Financial AI Platform

As we continue to enable AI transformation across industries, we’re excited to announce the release of Gradient AI Cloud for Financial Services. It has never been easier to build and deploy SOC 2-compliant AI solutions for organizations in financial services.

The platform includes Gradient's Albatross Large Language Models (LLMs), which are a suite of proprietary, state-of-the-art finance LLMs and embeddings, as well as a SOC 2-compliant AI developer kit that makes it possible for enterprises in financial services to further tune Albatross AI models with their private data.

The Challenges of Deploying AI in Financial Services

LLMs have the potential to transform financial service organizations by offering unparalleled opportunities. They can process unstructured information in a way that was previously impossible. They're able to understand and automate procedural tasks with incredible accuracy, that previously could only be performed through many intensive people hours.

However, substantial challenges have prevented enterprises in financial services from being able to leverage this technology effectively:

  1. Lack of data privacy, security and control with closed-source AI models

  2. Regulatory and compliance challenges that continue to evolve

  3. Significant development and deployment costs

  4. Complex infrastructure setup required before beginning to build custom models

With the release of Gradient’s SOC 2-compliant AI Cloud for Financial Services, organizations are able to:

  1. Keep their data in their private environment (dedicated deployments in all major cloud providers, Snowflake, on-premise, etc.) and have full ownership and control of the AI models they build

  2. Reduce AI development costs by 70%+, with continued savings in hosting and maintenance costs

  3. Accelerate time to market by 10x with simple infrastructure and state-of-the-art finance models that can be easily customized further based on an organization’s private data

Gradient’s Approach to AI For Financial Services

Gradient’s AI Cloud for financial services combines 2 critical components for any financial service organization looking to deploy effective AI solutions: (i) LLMs that are trained in all aspects of financial services in which organizations can deploy privately, and (ii) a platform to further train these AI systems using your private data. No other AI platform today can provide both of these features to financial service organizations.

Start with a Pre-Built AI Expert in Finance

Financial service organizations need a solution now, but LLMs on the market today do not have the financial knowledge nor the organizational understanding in financial services necessary to accurately and efficiently perform tasks in the financial services domain out of the box.

To address this head on, Gradient provides proprietary, SOC 2-compliant Albatross Finance LLMs:

  • Leverage a Model with a Finance Degree: Our LLMs have been extensively trained on all aspects of financial services (banking, investments, insurance, etc.) and has passed examinations for both the CPA and CFA Level 1 and 2.

  • Expert in Financial Service Organizations: On top of having financial knowledge, our LLMs have a deep understanding of the administration and operational aspects that goes into the financial services industry. They have been trained on investment, regulatory, educational, and proprietary financial records.

  • Advanced Logical Reasoning: Our models have been further trained to use best practices in logical reasoning, enabling higher accuracy and preventing hallucination. This includes citing its sources, evaluating multiple potential answers before recommending one, and reflecting on its answer and course-correcting. And if you’re still curious around how that answer was derived, you’ll be able to request the breakdown.

We also leverage the most cutting-edge AI technology, including Mixture of Experts (MoE) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Albatross is the highest performing commercial finance AI—passing examinations for the CPA, CFA Level 1 & 2, and substantially outperforming any AI model available today.

Supercharge Pre-Built AI Solutions with Your Private Data

Your data is your most valuable asset. Gradient is the only platform that enables financial service organizations to combine industry expert LLMs like Albatross, with their own institutional knowledge and data.

Every financial service organization operates differently and has their own nuance, especially when it comes to organizational behavior and operations. Customizing our finance LLM further with your organization’s data, enables it to have a deep understanding of how things are done within your organization. When executing on tasks for your organization, it increases overall performance and accuracy of the AI system.

Our existing financial service customers deploy a range of AI solutions today:

  • Process sensitive customer data and manage regulatory processes

  • Generate proprietary alpha by leveraging AI to process investment documents, SEC filings, and microeconomic data

  • Automate auditing processes that are required to help monitor and prevent fraud

  • Improve risk modeling by taking into account vast unstructured data that was previously unusable

  • Create chatbots that can provide banking or customer support with no hallucination and in a specific tone or voice

Privacy-First AI Infrastructure

Gradient was designed from the ground up with the highest data security and privacy controls, and we are a SOC 2-compliant platform.

We understand the highly sensitive data that financial service organizations work with and how important it is for organizations to maintain full control over this data. With Gradient, your data never needs to leave your system. We build and deploy in your private environment, and you fully own and control your models.

With Gradient's AI Cloud for financial services, finance organizations are able to rapidly deploy AI solutions that meet the performance bar needed for high-stakes automation, all in a SOC 2-compliant platform. Build confidently and deploy privately in your preferred environment, while maintaining full ownership of your AI application, model, and data.
