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.
LLMs speak programmer well - they don't speak finance that well. To get much useable retraining or super agressive context / prompting (with teaching of finance principles) is needed otherwise the output is very inconsistent.
I find it helpful. Just drop a soup of numbers and ask "Is this business viable" and go from there. I have not used LLM specific for financial services, but ballpark figures and ideas were very useful for planning. Definitely a time saver and helps to iterate quicker.
