AI Models We Test

We test AI models that retail investors are most likely to encounter and use for investment research. These are the mainstream, accessible models that shape how everyday investors make financial decisions. Our focus is on understanding the biases in the tools people actually use:

We specifically target AI models that retail investors actually use, not just the most technically advanced ones. Our selection focuses on accessibility and real-world usage patterns. We prioritize models that:

• Are easily accessible to individual investors without technical expertise
• Have free or low-cost access options for everyday users
• Are commonly integrated into financial apps and research platforms
• Represent the diversity of AI tools shaping retail investment decisions

We analyze how these commonly-used AI models influence retail investment decisions by tracking their biases and preferences. This matters because millions of individual investors rely on these tools for research and advice.

As retail investors adopt new AI tools, we expand our testing to include models gaining traction among everyday users. We continuously monitor which AI systems are becoming mainstream investment research tools.

Our goal is to always test the models that matter most to retail investors, not necessarily the most technically sophisticated ones. This means tracking adoption patterns, accessibility changes, and integration into popular financial platforms.
