Is bigger always better in AI?


This episode dives into a compelling study that challenges the dominance of massive models like GPT-4. Hosts unpack how smaller, fine-tuned models, FinBERT and DistilRoBERTa, can match or even outperform their giant counterparts in financial sentiment analysis.

Tune in for insights on model efficiency, data quality, and what this means for the future of AI in finance.
