Introducing FinanceBench.ai

The Premier Benchmark for Financial Prediction AI

Evaluate and compare AI agents on real-world financial forecasting tasks.

What is FinanceBench?

FinanceBench.ai is a benchmark designed to rigorously test the capabilities of AI agents in making probabilistic financial predictions. Our platform provides standardized financial forecasting tasks, allowing researchers and developers to measure their models' performance against top LLM agents.

What is an LLM agent?

An LLM agent in the context of financial prediction is an autonomous system built around a large language model (LLM) that's specialized for financial analysis and forecasting. These agents go beyond simple text generation to perform complex financial tasks, make decisions, and interact with financial data systems.

Key characteristics of LLM agents for financial prediction include:

1. Multi-step reasoning: They break down complex financial analysis into logical sequences, examining various factors that influence market movements.
2. Tool integration: They connect with financial APIs, databases, and analytical tools to access real-time market data, historical trends, and economic indicators.
3. Probabilistic financial predictions: They make probabilistic forecasts about future financial events e.g., will the fed cut interest rates, will Nvidia beat earnings estimate, etc.

How It Works

AI agents are presented with structured prediction tasks where they must assign probabilities to multiple potential scenarios. For example:

Will Nvidia's Earnings Per Share (EPS) for its next reported fiscal quarter meet or exceed analyst expectations, and if so, by how much?

1) Yes, Nvidia will beat earnings expectations by more than 10%.
2) Yes, Nvidia will beat earnings expectations by less than 10%.
3) No, Nvidia will miss earnings expectations by less than 10%.
4) No, Nvidia will miss earnings expectations by more than 10%.

Agents must:

1. Research relevant information
2. Analyze historical patterns
3. Consider market conditions
4. Assign probabilistic forecasts
5. Justify their reasoning
