THaLLE Large Language Model ด้านการเงิน
![](https://www.sub-brain.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/img9.png)
THaLLE (อ่านว่า ทะเล) คือโมเดล AI ด้านภาษาที่ถูกฝึกสอนมาให้มีความชำนาญพิเศษในเรื่องของการเงินซึ่งครอบคลุมทั้งเรื่องการเงินส่วนบุคคลไปจนถึงเรื่องของการลงทุนเบื้องต้นได้ โดยโมเดลนี้ถูกพัฒนาขึ้นโดย KBTG (KASIKORN Business—Technology Group) จากความร่วมมือของ NLP-Voice Research Lab, KBTG Labs
จุดเด่นของโมเดลนี้คือความชำนาญเฉพาะด้านการเงินที่สูงในโมเดลที่ไม่ได้มีขนาดใหญ่มากเมื่อเทียบกับ LLM ด้วยกัน เพราะว่าทุกวันนี้ LLM ที่มีความสามารถสูงและครอบคลุมหลายด้านนั้นล้วนแล้วแต่มีขนาดที่ใหญ่มากและต้องการพลังในการประมวลผลที่สูง ทำให้ต้นทุนในการจัดหา GPU และเครื่องคอมมาฝึกสอนและทำระบบนั้นสูงมาก แต่ THaLLE นั้นย่อส่วน LLM มาให้ทำเฉพาะส่วนของด้านการเงินเป็นหลักเพื่อประหยัดต้นทุนดังกล่าวโดยที่มุ่งเน้นประสิทธิภาพไปที่เรื่องการเงินการลงทุนเพียงอย่างเดียว
โดยพื้นฐานแล้วโมเดลนี้ถูก Finetuning มาจาก Qwen2-7B-Instruct ซึ่งเดิมเป็น LLM อยู่แล้วมีความสามารถพื้นฐานในการทำความเข้าใจบริบทของภาษามนุษย์และพูดคุยโต้ตอบสอบถามได้ พร้อมทั้งยังออกแบบเรื่องเทมเพลทข้อความไว้ค่อนข้างครบถ้วนแล้ว ดังนั้นหลัก ๆ ในการ Finetuning นี้คือการเพิ่มความรู้เฉพาะทางด้านการเงินให้กับโมเดล Qwen2 เป็นหลัก
ซึ่งข้อมูลที่ใช้ในการฝึกสอนและวัดประเมินผลนั้นจะเป็นชุดข้อสอบ CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) แบบเลือกคำตอบที่ถูกต้องจากช้อยส์ที่กำหนดให้ (Multiple Choice Question Answering) ซึ่งผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านการเงินทุกคนหากจะเรียกตัวเองว่าเป็นผู้เชี่ยวชาญได้จำเป็นจะต้องสอบผ่านใบอนุญาต CFA โดยปกติแล้วจะมีด้วยกัน 3 Level แต่ในการฝึกสอน THaLLE นี้ใช้เพียง Level 1 และ 2 เท่านั้นเพราะ Level 3 จะเป็นคำถามปลายเปิดที่จะต้องใช้มนุษย์เป็นผู้ตรวจสอบและประเมินผลอย่างมีหลักการจริง ๆ ฉะนั้นเพื่อให้สามารถวัดได้ชัดเจนจึงใช้เฉพาะชุดข้อสอบที่มีคำตอบถูกผิดชี้ชัดได้ (เพราะการทำวิจัยเราจำเป็นต้องเปรียบเทียบกับเจ้าอื่นในตลาดด้วย ดังนั้นการใช้ชุดทดสอบที่มีดุลพินิจของคนมาเกี่ยวข้องมากเกินไปอาจดูเชื่อถือไม่ได้หากไม่ใช่เจ้าของชุดข้อสอบเองจริง ๆ)

และจากการฝึกสอนและทดสอบโมเดล THaLLE ของ KBTG นั้นผลคะแนนที่ทำได้เป็นไปดังตารางนี้ ซึ่งจะเห็นได้ว่าทำคะแนนได้ดีกว่า LLM Open Source ขนาดพอ ๆ กันเป็นอย่างมาก (ดีกว่า GPT-3.5-turbo ด้วย) ถึงแม้จะยังดูห่างชั้นกับ GPT 4o ก็ตาม แต่หากเทียบในเรื่องของขนาดและต้นทุนที่ใช้ถือว่าใช้น้อยกว่า GPT 4o เป็นอย่างมาก (มาก ๆๆๆๆ)
ทั้งนี้หากต้องการอ่านข้อมูลการทดลองของ KBTG สามารถอ่านได้ที่นี่
แต่ในบทความนี้เราไม่ได้จะมาประชาสัมพันธ์แต่เพียงอย่างเดียว ในเมื่อโมเดลถูกปล่อยมาให้ลองใช้งานได้แล้วนั้นแน่นอนว่าจะต้องมีการทดสอบประสิทธิภาพกันสักหน่อยว่าจะสามารถให้คำแนะนำทั้งด้านการเงินส่วนบุคคลและการลงทุนเบื้องต้นได้อย่างไรบ้าง

User: Hello I want to do my tax planning. Do you have any advice?
Response:
Certainly! Tax planning is a crucial part of financial management, helping you to minimize your tax liabilities and maximize your after-tax income. Here are some general tips for effective tax planning: 1. **Understand Your Tax Bracket**: Knowing your current tax bracket can help you understand how much you will owe in taxes based on your income. This knowledge can guide decisions about where to allocate your income. 2. **Take Advantage of Deductions and Credits**: Be aware of all the deductions and credits that you may be eligible for. These can include mortgage interest, charitable donations, education expenses, and retirement contributions. Make sure to keep records of these expenses throughout the year. 3. **Contribute to Retirement Accounts**: Contributions to retirement accounts like 401(k)s, IRAs, or other employer-sponsored plans can reduce your taxable income. The money you contribute does not get taxed until you withdraw it in retirement, which can be at a lower tax rate than your current income tax rate. 4. **Consider Tax-Advantaged Investments**: Investing in tax-advantaged accounts such as Health Savings Accounts (HSAs, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs, or other employer-provided benefits can reduce your taxable income and save on healthcare costs. 5. **Plan for Capital Gains**: If you have investments, consider selling underperforming assets before the end of the year to offset gains from more successful investments. This strategy can help reduce your capital gains tax liability. 6. **Use Tax Loss Harvesting**: Selling investments at a loss can offset capital gains. This practice can help reduce your overall tax bill. 7. **Review Your Investment Strategy**: Ensure that your investment strategy aligns with your tax situation. For example, if you are in a higher tax bracket, investing in municipal bonds can provide tax-free income. 8. **Plan for Estate Taxes**: If you have significant assets, consider strategies to minimize estate taxes, such as gifting strategies or setting up trusts. 9. **Keep Good Records**: Maintain detailed records of all your financial transactions. This includes receipts, bank statements, and tax documents. Good record-keeping can help you claim all available deductions and avoid penalties. 10. **Consult with a Professional**: Consider working with a tax professional or financial advisor who can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances. They can help you navigate complex tax laws and identify opportunities for tax savings. 11. **Plan Ahead**: Don’t wait until the last minute to start thinking about your taxes. Early planning can help you make informed decisions and take advantage of opportunities that might not be available later in the year. 12. **Stay Informed**: Tax laws change frequently. Stay updated on changes that could affect your tax situation. This might involve reading tax publications, attending seminars, or subscribing to newsletters. By remember, the goal of tax planning is not just to pay less tax but also to ensure compliance with tax laws. Always act within the bounds of legal tax practices.

User: If I want to reduce my tax with the investment in mutual fund. How can I do this? and do you know about Thai ESG?
Response:
Investing in mutual funds can be a strategic way to manage your taxes, especially if you choose funds that align with your financial goals and tax situation. Here are some ways to potentially reduce your taxes through mutual fund investments: 1. **Tax-Loss Harvesting**: This strategy involves selling securities at a loss to offset capital gains from other investments. If you sell a mutual fund at a loss, you can use that loss to offset any capital gains you have realized during the year. If you don't have enough gains to offset, you can carry forward the loss to future years. 2. **Tax-Exempt Funds**: Consider investing in municipal bond mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds typically offer tax-exempt income, which is not subject to federal income tax, and may also be exempt from state and local taxes depending on where you live. 3. **Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs)**: Some mutual funds offer DRIPs, which allow you to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions into additional shares of the fund. This can help defer taxes on these distributions until you sell the shares. 4. **Tax-Advantaged Accounts**: Utilize retirement accounts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, or other tax-advantaged plans. Contributions to these accounts are made with pre-tax dollars, reducing your taxable income for the year. The growth within these accounts is tax-deferred, and withdrawals are are taken during retirement are taxed as ordinary income. 5. **Taxable vs. Tax-Deferred Mutual Funds**: Be mindful of the type of mutual fund you invest in. Taxable funds pay out dividends and capital gains, which are are taxed when distributed. Tax-deferred funds, like those held in retirement accounts, do not distribute income until withdrawn. Regarding Thai ESG ( or Environmental, Social, and Governance, it refers to the criteria used to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of companies and their investments. In Thailand, ESG investing has gained popularity as investors seek to align their portfolios with values that promote environmental responsibility, social equity, and good corporate governance. Thai ESG funds typically focus on companies that demonstrate strong performance in these areas. They might avoid investments in sectors known for negative impacts, such as tobacco, fossil fuels, or weapons manufacturing, and instead favor companies that show leadership in sustainability practices, community engagement, and fair labor policies. In terms of tax implications, investing in Thai ESG funds can be advantageous because they often target companies that are are less likely to face regulatory fines, legal disputes, or reputational damage, which can lead to more stable returns over time. Additionally, some ESG-focused funds may offer tax benefits by investing in tax-exempt securities or by providing tax-efficient strategies to minimize capital gains. It's important to note that while ESG investing can offer potential tax advantages, it's crucial to consult with a financial advisor to understand how specific ESG funds fit into your overall tax strategy and investment goals.

User: I want to get the best exchange rates for THB to JPY. How to consider about timing and depreciation?
Response:
Achieving the best exchange rates when converting Thai Baht (THB) to Japanese Yen (JPY) involves a combination of strategic timing, understanding market dynamics, and possibly using financial instruments like forward contracts or currency options.
