Aiera

Aiera is extending its availability to leading research authoring platforms - BlueMatrix, Eidosmedia, and Mediasterling - to deliver a seamless integration of Aiera's audio and transcripts into published research. Read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/ewb--yR4 Analysts and publishers will now have the ability to embed interactive, verifiable excerpts from corporate event transcripts directly within published content such as research reports (called "Transcrippets"). Each Transcrippet includes key contextual information – such as speaker details, company name, ticker, event type, date, point-in-time stock price, etc. – along with an embedded play button for instant audio playback. By integrating not just the transcript, but the actual audio into the authoring experience, analysts now have a more dynamic way to enhance their research and engage their clients. We invite you to read the full announcement, and reach out if you'd like to learn more. #equityresearch #llm #genai #fintech #authoring #partnership #transcrippets

[NEW ARTICLE] The market's dramatic reaction to DeepSeek AI's releases reflects an industry in transition. But how does DeepSeek REALLY perform alongside the other models across the landscape? Read our breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/eRNH8PFS At Aiera, our conviction remains strong that task-specific benchmarking is integral to product-fit. We invite you to read our latest article, which empirically benchmarks DeepSeek's performance against several other major models, across the following financial tasks: - Sentiment - Summarization - Financial Q&A - Speaker Identification Is DeepSeek's R1 release really "AI's Sputnik moment", as Marc Andreessen characterized it? Or is it a natural continuation of research-based improvements in model architecture?

While the AI buzz is loud on Wall Street, actual adoption of ChatGPT-like tools is still in its early days. Finance leaders “seem to be waiting for more niche tools to enter the market or more advanced out-of-the-box technologies to emerge with practical applications,” per Deloitte. ?????? ?????????????????? ?????????????????? Enterprise adoption faces a benchmarking challenge. How do you measure the quality of subjective AI outputs such as summaries? Without clear standards, decision-makers struggle to identify the best applications of AI. The industry is responding: ? Dhagash Mehta, Ph.D., BlackRock’s head of Applied AI Research, and team recently published a thorough paper on benchmarking, called “How to Choose a Threshold for an Evaluation Metric for Large Language Models” ? James Corcoran, head of AI and Analytics at STAC - Strategic Technology Analysis Center, told me this week that the benchmarking company is looking to assess new AI + finance platforms in 2025. ? Aiera, which provides AI-driven event streaming and analytics for institutional investors, recently published benchmark results for 28 models on finance tasks. ???????? ???????????? ???? ???????? ???????????????????? Generative AI is often equated with chatbots, as ChatGPT introduced many to the technology. But this is starting to change. If you follow AI news, you’ve likely heard of AI agents—tools that can handle multi step tasks like booking flights. But the term “agents” is misleading. They don’t really make decisions. I prefer to think of them as Taskbots—tools designed to complete specific, well-defined jobs. Integrating Taskbots into Wall Street workflows makes sense. For instance, Geoffrey Clauss, Chief Revenue Officer at Boosted.ai, told me this week how their generative AI platform automated much of a weekly status report for dozens of analysts at a major bank, saving five hours per report each week. While the timing is uncertain, it seems inevitable that AI will take over much of the repetitive, grunt work handled by financial analysts. -- ??

At Aiera, we generate summaries for all of our transcribed events. Because the finance domain favors terse, quantitative expressions and metrics over high-level text summaries, we required a custom dataset to evaluate LLM performance on our internal summarization workflows. Read more about some of our lessons-learned during this process on Medium.
