Financial LLMs and general-purpose models used for investing.
Choose a model for a measured task
Separate financial-domain training from general reasoning capability. Check the licence, available weights or API, input limits and evaluation dataset. A benchmark score does not show that a model can manage a portfolio or produce reliable trading returns.
