OpenAI targets Wall Street bankers with a new version of ChatGPT
OpenAI Group PBC is going after Wall Street with a new version of ChatGPT that’s tailor made for financial tasks such as analysis and calculations.
It’s somewhat predictably called ChatGPT for Financial Services, and it’s designed to combine rich financial data with the powerful reasoning skills of GPT-6 Astra to help financial teams develop their research, create new financial models and branded materials for clients.
It has become a trend for artificial intelligence companies to try and package their most powerful frontier models in ways that make them easier to use in specific industries, in an effort to drive more targeted enterprise revenue. In a briefing with reporters, OpenAI Vice President and Head of ChatGPT Nick Turley said financial services is one of the verticals it’s prioritising most, along with software engineering and cybersecurity.
OpenAI is a bit late to the game, though. Its chief rival Anthropic PBC launched a dedicated financial services product called Claude for Financial Analysis way back in May 2025. However, OpenAI believes that ChatGPT for Financial Services is going to be useful enough that it will become the “one product” that banks and other financial firms with thousands of workers will ever need. “This is the canonical product we are hoping the industry adopts,” Turley stressed.
