Comparing Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 for Quantitative Finance

Asked By FinanceNerd99 On

I'm working in quantitative finance, focusing on developing tools that identify and leverage market anomalies. My programming is quite theoretical and often draws from academic finance research. Currently, I'm trying to find the right model to validate my approaches. Has anyone here worked with Opus 4 or Sonnet 4 in a similar context? I'm curious about which one would better fit my use case.

Opus is definitely pricier but provides better reasoning than Sonnet. If your focus is on analyzing your overall strategy, it’s great. However, it’s not ideal for executing specific trades. Also, I’ve noticed Opus sometimes makes silly mistakes, which can be really annoying if you're counting on it.

From a coding perspective, I’d say Opus is pretty solid compared to Sonnet, which seems to lag. Though, I've found Opus to be somewhat frustrating when it comes to details—it's great with high-level concepts, but not so much with execution. Sonnet feels like it improves on that, at least from my experience.

I used Opus 4 to connect with my stock broker, giving Claude historical data to trade for me. It hasn’t performed well with actual trading, so I lost some money. Even though I didn’t ask it to execute specific strategies, I wouldn’t recommend trading with real cash just yet. Instead, it might be better to log the actions and reasons behind trades, so you can analyze patterns later on.

It's funny—you guys are all focusing on complex AI models, while I'm just here using AI for Dungeons and Dragons! But honestly, I believe both Opus and Sonnet have their merits. I'd be curious to hear more about specific problems that only Opus can solve, as I’ve been using Sonnet 4 without paying and it seems just as effective.
