Discover how companies are responsibly integrating AI in production. This
invite-only event in SF will explore the intersection of technology and
business. Find out how you can attend here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



S&P Global, a leading provider of financial intelligence, quietly announced on
Wednesday the launch of S&P AI Benchmarks by Kensho. This innovative solution
aims to set a new standard for evaluating the performance of large language
models (LLMs) in complex financial and quantitative applications.

Developed by S&P Global’s AI-focused division, Kensho, the benchmarking tool
assesses an LLM’s ability to handle tasks such as quantitative reasoning, data
extraction from financial documents and demonstrating domain-specific knowledge.
The results are then displayed on a leaderboard, providing a transparent view of
each model’s capabilities.

Unleashing Generative AI: Building trustworthy solutions with flawless data

(LLMs) across key financial and quantitative metrics, including domain
knowledge, quantity extraction, and program synthesis. (Source:

“S&P AI Benchmarks combined Kensho’s cutting-edge AI research and engineering
with S&P Global’s leading financial intelligence capabilities,” said Bhavesh
Dayalji, Chief AI Officer for S&P Global and CEO of Kensho, in an interview with
VentureBeat. “Our hope is that the solution becomes the industry standard for
understanding how LLMs perform on complex financial reasoning and that it
encourages broader innovation in the FinAI space.”

The launch of S&P AI Benchmarks comes at a pivotal moment for the financial
services industry, as more institutions explore the potential of generative AI
and LLMs to streamline operations and gain a competitive edge. However, the lack
of standardized benchmarks has made it challenging for organizations to assess
the suitability of different models for their specific use cases.

FUELING INNOVATION AND INFORMED DECISION-MAKING

“Benchmark solutions like ours are critical to helping institutions and
professionals across our industry determine which LLMs they should be using for
their particular use cases,” Dayalji explained. “And we believe that S&P AI
Benchmarks is also going to fuel innovation by helping financial professionals
identify where each model is performing well and how it can add the most value.”

The S&P AI Benchmarks methodology was developed and validated by a diverse team
of experts, including engineers, researchers, academics and financial
professionals from across S&P Global’s divisions. The evaluation set consists of
600 questions, designed to rigorously test an LLM’s performance across three key
categories.


A MILESTONE FOR AI ADOPTION IN FINANCE

Industry analysts believe that the launch of S&P AI Benchmarks could mark a
significant milestone in the adoption of AI within the financial sector. As more
advanced AI permeates the financial industry, having a reliable and transparent
benchmarking tool will be essential for firms looking to make informed decisions
about which models to deploy. S&P Global’s solution could help accelerate the
responsible adoption of LLMs and drive innovation in the FinAI space.

Looking ahead, S&P Global envisions S&P AI Benchmarks playing a crucial role in
shaping the future of AI in financial services. “Our vision is to see LLMs
become more effective and better adapted to the needs of the industries we
operate in across the board, and solutions like ours will help us get there,”
Dayalji said. “We encourage all model providers to participate so that we can
continue to evolve our framework.”

As the financial industry navigates the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and
generative AI, tools like S&P AI Benchmarks by Kensho are poised to become
essential guides, helping organizations harness the power of these technologies
while ensuring accuracy, transparency, and responsible deployment.
