Summary
In their battle for enterprise sales, both OpenAI and Anthropic have been targeting financial services firms. Startup Samaya AI is building AI tools for the finance sector too.

Bloomberg’s tools have seen off lots of rivals since its founding back in 1981. Even before the reporter left the company to come to Fortune in 2019, Bloomberg had begun to use machine learning and large language models to make accessing these features far more intuitive, as well as to power new kinds of data analysis.
