Financial Services: Frontier Models Beside the Trading Floor

A trading and advisory firm saw the value of AI for contract review and branch support — then compliance flagged the contractual risk of sending client documents off site, and finance flagged the per-token bill that would grow with every team that joined. The firm set two conditions: sovereignty provable to auditors, and a cost it could budget. UnitedEdge® AI deployed a dual-engine frontier model at the trading site and a smaller copilot at branches, all under one tenant policy, with every action in a single audit log. Teams kept their existing OpenAI-style code by pointing it at the private endpoint. Cost moved from per-token to a fixed monthly subscription — unmetered, regardless of how fast adoption grew.
