A new specialised large language model (LLM) has been created by American technology firm Writer for financial services firms based on its Palmyra products.

The Palmyra-Fin-70b model enables firms’ generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) platforms to assist in financial forecasting, investment analysis, risk evaluation, fraud detection, and asset allocation strategies, the company said.

The new LLM is available through NVIDIA, Baseten, Hugging Face and Writer’s own platform. The Palmyra suite of LLMs is already being used by firms including Vanguard, Franklin Templeton and Intuit, San Francisco-based Writer said.
