Economic analysis that used to take two

days is down to just 30 minutes.

We have 97% of the firm now using the AI

0:10

platform that we built on a daily basis.

0:12

That's everything from investment

0:14

research to coding to automation of back

0:18

office operations and processes. Cortex

0:20

has been a game changer. The 55 model

0:22

has really unlocked a new level of

0:24

intelligence, but also a new level of

0:27

work that the system is capable of

0:28

[music] doing. We adopted it first from

0:30

a coding perspective, but we quickly

0:32

realized it was capable of doing a lot

0:34

more than coding. When an earnings

0:36

report comes out, speed [music] to

0:37

insight is critical. The new Cortex

0:40

harness and 55 allows that to happen in

0:43

almost real time. We are at the frontier

0:47

and we're all figuring out what these

0:48

systems can enable next. That requires

0:51

not just the building of the tools, but

0:53

the imagination of what we can build.

0:56

2026 is the year that we go from systems

0:59

that can do search to systems that can

do work enabled by the Cortex harness.

The firm has significantly improved its operational efficiency by implementing an AI platform called Cortex, powered by the 55 model. This shift has reduced economic analysis time from two days to 30 minutes, with 97% of staff now utilizing the tool for research, coding, and back-office automation. Moving forward, the firm aims to transition from simple search-based AI to systems capable of executing complex work by 2026.
