Palmyra-Med-70b and Palmyra-Fin-70b join Writer’s family of top-benchmarked LLMs, setting a new standard for domain-specific models. Extensive testing confirmed the superiority of both models over larger, generalized models like GPT-4 and specialized models like Med-Palmyra-2 and comparable financial models. Their exceptional performance across various domain-specific benchmarks underscores their remarkable ability to handle complex industry-specific tasks with exceptional accuracy.
Palmyra-Fin: Empowering Financial AI
Palmyra-Fin-70b stands as a game-changer in financial generative AI applications. It is now the only financial services model offered as an NVIDIA NIM inference microservice and available from ai.nvidia.com.
Palmyra-Fin-70b shows unparalleled proficiency in financial forecasting, investment analysis, risk evaluation, fraud detection, and asset allocation strategy, and it can power these use cases with unprecedented accuracy. Leveraging a vast corpus of financial data and incorporating state-of-the-art fine tuning techniques, Palmyra-Fin possesses specialized knowledge that enables it to understand and analyze financial information with extraordinary precision. Financial institutions and businesses can harness its capabilities to gain actionable insights and make informed decisions.
In a long-fin-eval benchmark test, Palmyra-Fin outperformed popular models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and Mixtral-8x7b — showcasing the model’s ability to analyze complex financial topics. It is also the first model capable of passing the CFAⓇ Level III exam, often branded as “the world’s hardest exam” and one of the highest distinctions in the investment management profession.
Combined with the Writer full-stack generative AI platform — which includes integrated graph-based RAG technology, AI guardrails, and a suite of developer tools — Palmyra LLMs have enabled leading financial institutions like Vanguard and Franklin Templeton and innovative fintech companies like Intuit to reinvent their workflows with generative AI.
