RL env startups urged to focus on finance; Anthropic ships Claude for Financial Services

himanshustwts argues the best move now is working at (or independently building) an RL environment startup focused on knowledge-work tasks, specializing in finance. Quoting a post on how finance folks once chased coders to build apps — and coders may now need to learn Excel — he cites Anthropic's launch of Claude for Financial Services as a downstream effect: a package for banks, insurers, asset/wealth managers and fintechs bundling models, apps, financial data connectors and implementation support.
