Broadridge Announces New Patent on Large Language Model Orchestration of Machine Learning Agents

Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE:BR) has been awarded a new U.S. patent on its large language model (LLM) orchestration of machine learning agents. These patented methods and systems are behind BondGPT, Broadridge’s award-winning GenAI application first demonstrated in the market in the LTX e-trading platform, a Broadridge subsidiary. BondGPT was released in June 2023, followed by the enterprise version, BondGPT+, in October 2023. These applications provide timely, secure and accurate responses to natural language questions using OpenAI GPT models and the orchestration of multiple AI agents to automatically retrieve and process data from multiple datasets and analytical models simultaneously.

We will continue to work closely with clients integrating AI into their workflows to increase productivity and optimize trading.” 

BondGPT and BondGPT+ harness powerful AI and machine learning to offer enhanced, personalized trading capabilities to corporate bond traders, portfolio managers, and analysts on the buy- and sell-side. By deploying Broadridge’s patented methods for LLM orchestration of machine learning agents, the BondGPT+ enterprise application integrates clients’ proprietary data and analytical models, third-party datasets, as well as sophisticated personalization features, and provides unparalleled access to critical pre-trade data and models, improving efficiency and saving valuable time for users.
