Each model instance is trained only on data available up to its cutoff date.

Safe for backtesting and alpha research

Point-in-time vintages, back to 1999

Lookahead-free embeddings usable in your factor pipeline

Point-in-time LLM, based on trained vintages.

Self-verify cutoffs with auditable probe sets

Runs in your environment, self-host or on-prem

Our Vintage™ architecture enforces strict time cutoff

AI built to eliminate lookahead bias

A frontier model that reasons only on information available at each point in time.

ChronoLLM

The financial sector needs a new type of large language model that doesn't cheat.

Point-in-time training

Each vintage is trained exclusively on a timestamped corpus using a rolling 20-year training window and a walk-forward training methodology.

Verifiable Integrity

Fiduciary standards require independent verification. Thousands of post-cutoff leak probes let you verify the model’s time boundary yourself.

Self-hosted

Download the weights and run ChronoLLM entirely on your own hardware. Your prompts, signals, and strategies never leave your infrastructure.

Use Cases

Frontier AI + chronological consistency

Ask the same prompt of two vintages and watch the model knowledge evolve. Each one responds with only what it knows up to its cutoff - The gap between them is the lookahead bias, contained in every other large language model.

An unexplored dimension of new signals

Point-in-time LLMs transform financial analysis allowing you to measure nuances of financial markets at distinct points in time. This compressed representation of the world at regular intervals in history is an unprecedented opportunity for asset managers to generate new signals.

“Standard models make a backtest look brilliant, then fall apart the moment it trades live. Quantitative research has to run on what was actually knowable at the time, and nothing that came after. ChronoLLM is the first model that actually does it.”

What is lookahead bias?

Lookahead bias occurs when a model is influenced by information that did not yet exist at the moment being analyzed. A standard Large Language Model is trained on decades of data all at once. When you ask it to reason about a past date, its answers are shaped by events, prices, and outcomes that came later. Strategies tested this way appear far stronger than they truly were, and that advantage disappears in live conditions.

How does ChronoLLM differ from other LLM?

Does limiting the model to a point in time reduce performance?

Who is ChronoLLM built for?

Is proprietary data kept private?

How is ChronoLLM deployed?

How do you know each vintage is truly free of future data?
