By hosting and indexing that data itself, OpenAI can ultimately improve performance and latency for end users.OpenAI also promises to be working with S&P Capital IQ, LSEG, MSCI, Dow Jones Factiva and Moody’s so that users can access their subscription benefits directly through their ChatGPT login to reduce the friction further.All of this with the benefits of OpenAI's latest frontier model, Astra, which sees marked improvements across the board. The jumps from 91.5% to 100% at 256K-512K and from 73.8% to 96.3% at 512K-1M are especially noteworthy on the Long Context MRCR benchmarks when compared with GPT-5.6 Sol, because finance work often requires handling long documents like annual reports and filings.The company also advertises a 100% score for the ExploitBench cybersecurity benchmark, which should come as welcome news to this highly-regulated industry.Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed!Only eligible financial institutions will gain access to the tool for now, and they must contact OpenAI for options."ChatGPT for Financial Services is one way we serve customers across the industry, but we recognize that it will require a range of solutions to address the needs of the finance industry," the company said in its launch blog post."OpenAI has a long history of collaborating with innovators to unlock novel AI solutions.
