How Alfa differs from market LLMs

Alfa differs from other market LLMs in several ways. Keep reading to learn how.

The team behind Alfa has been training LLMs for 7 years

• Established trust and reliability: Our partnerships with top financial institutions and a strong track record of delivering advanced insights into events, accelerating stock research and improving portfolio management. This means faster investment decisions and better risk management.

AI Scaling

Traditional market LLMs have a limited ability to read a high volume of words due to static compute. Alfa, on the other hand, is able to read millions of words of text on demand and in real time.

• Alfa gives a complete summary of all available information due to its ability to process information in real time, ensuring you’re not missing anything.
• Other market LLMs limit their sources when generating an output to save time and money, not guaranteeing that it won’t miss something.

Constant monitoring

Traditional market LLMs only offer one-time outputs. Alfa, on the other hand, constantly monitors all available datasets to complete ongoing updates to its output. 

• Alfa’s analysts continuously monitors and updates their output, notifying you of important changes.
• Alfa’s continuous monitoring keeps information consistent as the workflow used to generate the output remains the same .
• Other market LLMs only offer one-time outputs, and asking it to update the output would result in inconsistencies as it would not re-run the query in the exact same way.

Finance-specific datasets

Traditional market LLMs are only capable of accessing publicly available datasets. Alfa, on the other hand, has the ability to access exclusive financial datasets on top of those that are publically available.

• Alfa gives you an enhanced output, ensuring to reference finance-specific sources.
• Other market LLMs are restricted to publicly available data, meaning they do not have access to all the relevant information needed to create an informed output.

Industry-leading hallucination rates

Traditional market LLMs have an average hallucination rate of 3%. Alfa, on the other hand, is able to ensure lower hallucination rates.

• Alfa uses multi-article to one fact validation to ensure output is fact-checked correctly.
• Alfa also provides in-text citations to ensure you can see where each piece of information comes from.
• Other market LLMs only need a single source to say something for it to be considered factual and do not provide the same amount of detail for in-text-citations.

Custom data uploads

Traditional market LLMs are trained on the contents of uploaded custom documents. Alfa, on the other hand, enables you to securly upload custom data for analysis.

• Alfa lets you integrate custom documentation into your analysis for an entirely personalized output.
• Alfa protects your private information by ensuring that your documentation isn’t shared with anyone.
• Alfa is never trained on the contents of your documents.
• Other market LLMs do not keep your uploaded information private and will use uploaded information for training.
