Chatham Financial Cuts Trade Validation to Under 4 Minutes With OpenAI Codex and GPT-5.6

3 articles · Updated · OpenAI · Oct 2

Summary

  • Chatham said an OpenAI-built trade validation application cut review time from about 30 minutes to under 4 minutes, with results still being checked against real transactions and experienced reviewers.
  • Codex gathers transaction evidence, compares key terms and flags discrepancies, fitting Chatham’s push to turn capital-markets processes into governed, auditable workflows rather than simply speeding every task.
  • GPT-5.6 now powers AI features across employee-built apps, client workflows and Chatham Onyx, the firm’s operating system for connected assets, debt and derivatives data.
  • Onyx uses multiple OpenAI models for different cost and accuracy needs, while tools such as ChatFIN summarize market patterns, analyze portfolios and link users to legal documents.
  • Chatham plans to extend trade validation to more products and automate more workflow steps, aiming to free advisors from routine assembly work so they can focus on judgment-heavy client advice.
