Their novel solutions outperformed GPT -4, showcasing FinBen's potential to drive innovations in financial LLMs.

The code is available here.

Four astronauts from the U.S., France and Russia successfully arrived at the International Space Station via SpaceX rocket on Saturday, restoring full crew capacity.

Despite these successes, the highly technical nature of financial texts requires domain-specific LLMs to understand complex financial language and concepts effectively.

A key part of the SpaceX-xAI deal's rationale is to move datacentres - the central nervous system of AI tools - into space. A key part of the SpaceX-xAI deal's rationale is to move datacentres - the central nervous system of AI tools - into space. Why has Elon Musk merged his rocket company with his AI startup? SpaceX's acquisition of xAI creates business worth $1.25tn but whether premise behind deal will work is questioned The acquisition of xAI by SpaceX is a typical Elon Musk deal: big numbers backed by big ambition. As well as extending "the light of consciousness to the stars", as Musk described it, the transaction creates a business worth $1.25tn (£920bn) by combining Musk's rocket company with his artificial intelligence startup.

Most of the state may be fighting the invasive species by 2050. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Termites have plagued southern states like Florida for decades, but a new study indicates that the problem is even worse than researchers previously believed. After reviewing over 30 years of monitoring data, entomologists at the University of Florida (UF) now say both the Formosan and Asian subterranean termites ( and) are expanding their range of destruction. They've already traveled farther north than scientists initially predicted.

Why did SpaceX just apply to launch 1 million satellites? We are only a month into 2026, yet it's already clear what one of the major space stories of the year is going to be: mega-constellations, and the ongoing attempts to launch thousands of satellites into Earth's orbit. The latest development is that SpaceX has asked the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for permission to launch 1 million orbital data centre satellites. The previous largest filing with the FCC, also by SpaceX, was for 42,000 Starlink satellites in 2019. "This is beyond what's been proposed by any constellation," says Victoria Samson at the Secure World Foundation in the US.

Each of these enormous collections of spacecraft, dubbed CTC-1 and CTC-2, would contain 96,714 satellites spread over 3,660 different orbits. If completed, China's new mega-constellation would dwarf even SpaceX's bold ambition to put 49,000 Starlink satellites in orbit. Together, CTC-1 and CTC-2 would be the largest assembly of satellites ever put in orbit, and would effectively lock competitors out of a region of low-Earth orbit. With Chinese authorities remaining quiet about the satellites' intended use, experts have raised concerns that the constellation may pose a security or defence threat. As reported by China in Space, the Nanjing University of Aeronautics claims that the satellites will focus on: 'Low-altitude electromagnetic space security, integrated security defence systems, electromagnetic space security assessment of airspace, and low-altitude airspace safety supervision services.'

NASA Artemis II plans to launch Feb. 6, 2025, sending astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen on the first crewed lunar mission in 50 years.
