Benchmark Performance
The underlying model is Claude Opus 4.7, which achieved 64.37 % on the Vals AI Finance Agent benchmark – the highest score reported for end‑to‑end financial‑scenario capability.
Domestic Deployment Recommendations
Replace data sources with local providers such as iFinD, Wind, Eastmoney, Juyuan, Hang Seng to cover A‑share and Hong‑Kong markets.
Swap the model for domestic large models (e.g., DeepSeek, Baichuan, Zhipu, iFlytek) while retaining the Agent framework to satisfy compliance.
Reuse the open‑source skill design, sub‑agent decomposition, command hierarchy, and audit‑log structure to reduce R&D cost.
Adapt for on‑prem deployment: keep data within the firewall, enable audit trails, and meet local regulatory standards.
