Quant Radio: Can Fine Tuned Small Models Outperform GPT?

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.

Learn how researchers built a dataset based on real market reactions (not just human opinion), tested model performance, and explored what really drives smarter AI: size or strategy?

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