Plutus

Plutus is a fine-tuned version of the LLaMA-3.1-8B model, specifically optimized for tasks in finance, economics, trading, psychology, and social engineering. This model leverages the LLaMA architecture, enhanced with 4-bit quantization to deliver high performance in resource-constrained environments, while maintaining accuracy and relevance for natural language processing tasks in these domains.

Model Details

• Model Type: LLaMA
• Model Size: 8 Billion Parameters
• Quantization: 4-bit (bnb, bitsandbytes)
• Architecture: Transformer-based
• Creator: 0xroyce

Training

The model was fine-tuned on the comprehensive “Financial, Economic, and Psychological Analysis Texts” dataset, which consists of 394 books covering key areas like:

• Finance and Investment: Stock market analysis, value investing, bonds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
• Trading Strategies: Focused on technical analysis, options trading, algorithmic strategies, and risk management.
• Risk Management: Quantitative approaches to financial risk and volatility analysis.
• Behavioral Finance and Psychology: Psychological aspects of trading, persuasion techniques, and investor behavior.
• Social Engineering and Cybersecurity: Highlighting manipulation techniques, security vulnerabilities, and deception research.
• Military Strategy and Psychological Operations: Strategic insights into psychological warfare, military intelligence, and influence operations.

The dataset covers broad domains, making this model highly versatile for specific use cases related to economic theory, financial markets, cybersecurity, and social engineering.

Intended Use

Plutus-Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-bnb-4bit is suitable for a wide variety of natural language processing tasks, particularly in finance, economics, psychology, and cybersecurity. Common use cases include:

• Financial Analysis: Extract insights and perform sentiment analysis on financial documents.
• Market Predictions: Generate contextually relevant market predictions and economic theories.
• Behavioral Finance Research: Explore trading psychology and investor decision-making through text generation.
• Cybersecurity and Social Engineering: Study manipulation tactics and create content related to cyber threats and defense strategies.

Examples of Questions

Finance & Investment:

1. How does insider trading really affect the efficiency of the stock market, and should it be legalized in some contexts?
2. Is the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) a legitimate threat to traditional banking systems, or just a passing trend?
3. Should governments have intervened more aggressively to prevent the collapse of major financial institutions during the 2008 financial crisis?
4. Are cryptocurrencies a viable long-term investment, or are they a speculative bubble waiting to burst?
5. Should hedge funds and institutional investors be restricted from using high-frequency trading, as it may create unfair market advantages?

Trading & Technical Analysis:

1. Does technical analysis hold any real value, or is it just pseudoscience for traders?
2. Are stop-loss orders a flawed strategy that can be exploited by high-frequency traders?
3. Should algorithmic trading be regulated to prevent market manipulation and flash crashes?
4. Is the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) fundamentally flawed when it comes to short-term trading strategies?
5. Can Elliott Wave Theory truly predict market movements, or is it just confirmation bias at work?

Risk Management & Quantitative Analysis:

1. Is modern risk management overly reliant on quantitative models that ignore black swan events?
2. Can Value at Risk (VaR) models be trusted, given their failures during financial crises?
3. Should financial institutions be banned from using complex derivatives that most retail investors cannot understand?
4. Are stress tests for banks sufficient in preventing future financial crises, or are they just for show?
5. Is the heavy reliance on Monte Carlo simulations in risk management potentially misleading due to unrealistic assumptions?

Psychology, Persuasion, & Social Engineering:

1. Should corporations be held accountable for using psychological manipulation in marketing to exploit consumers’ decision-making?
2. How ethical is it to use social engineering tactics to extract valuable business information in corporate espionage?
3. Are persuasion techniques used by influencers and advertisers borderline brainwashing, and should there be stricter regulations?
4. Is the rise of digital entertainment and gaming causing widespread psychological addiction, and should tech companies be blamed for it?
5. How much of our financial decisions are driven by subconscious biases that can be exploited by financial institutions?

Warfare, Intelligence, & Strategy:

1. Is the use of psychological operations (PsyOps) in modern warfare a violation of human rights?
2. Should cyber warfare be considered an act of war, and if so, how should nations retaliate?
3. Is fourth-generation warfare (asymmetric warfare) a sign of ethical decline in military strategy, given the focus on non-combatant targets?
4. Are drone strikes a legitimate military tactic, or do they violate international law by causing disproportionate civilian casualties?
5. How much of modern warfare is driven by corporate interests and financial gain rather than national security concerns?

Limitations

• Domain-Specific Bias: As the model is trained on specialized data, it may generate biased content, particularly in the areas of finance, psychology, and social engineering.
• Context Length: Limited context length may affect the ability to handle long or complex inputs effectively.
• Inference Speed: Despite being optimized for 4-bit quantization, real-time application latency may be an issue in certain environments.
