Large language models (LLMs) are generally trained on large publicly available datasets that are domain agnostic. For example, Meta’s Llama models are trained on datasets such as CommonCrawl , C4 , Wikipedia, and ArXiv. The resulting LLM outperforms LLMs trained on non-domain-specific datasets when tested on finance-specific tasks.
