AWE Benchmark | Assets & Wealth Document Extraction | Mantle Research
Compare AI models on financial document extraction with the AWE benchmark. Explore accuracy, cost, and performance across fields and document layouts.
research.withmantle.com
We also want this to be genuinely open. The dataset and benchmark tooling will be released soon so anyone can run it, challenge it, and build on it.
If you're working with AI in the Wealth tech space, I'd love your feedback 👇 research.withmantle.com/awe

The live interaction experiences with models are advancing so quickly. Some of micro behaviours are a bit unsettling, but compared to where we were last year it's 🤯. Given the option to wait 1hr or use this to check into my hotel, I would probably choose this.

Wealth tech has grown large enough that "trust us, the AI is accurate" shouldn't be the bar anymore. The space deserves proper, public research on raw model capabilities.
For LPs, fund managers, and the teams building wealth tech: AI is doing more of the document work in private markets. But how do you know it's getting the numbers right?

All the frontier AI models got a bump this month. Seems to be a pattern forming which means the next major bump will be in Dec/Jan. I can't think of another time where the tech stack evolved this quickly. research.withmantle.com/llm-costs/

After spending some time with cmux, herdr, and @zed.dev threads over the last couple of weeks. I've settled into Zed as my tool of choice. It combines the value of an AI TUI with worktree support and a full featured editor. So I can quickly traverse and review all the branches of generated code.

If anyone is struggling to get their meeting times lower, I highly suggest running some LLM workloads locally. An M5 laptop that easily has all day battery life goes down to 30-40min max. 😁
