What AI research, patents and partnerships does BNY have?
BNY's Eliza platform is model agnostic and integrates models from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic: a multi-year OpenAI deal for Deep Research and reasoning models (February 2025), Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise (December 2025) and Claude, which BNY cited in Anthropic's May 2026 finance-agent launch. It hosts Llama and Mistral models on premises and in March 2024 was the first major bank to deploy an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. Microsoft supplies Azure, Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot, and the bank rolled the Windsurf coding tool out to all 7,000 developers. On research, BNY signed a five-year, $10 million AI agreement with Carnegie Mellon (September 2025), a Future of Work Alliance with the University of Manchester (May 2026), and lists MIT CSAIL and the Stevens-RPI CRAFT center among its academic collaborations; its responsible-AI approach draws on its membership of the Monetary Authority of Singapore's Veritas consortium. The Q4 2025 deck counted more than 60 AI-related patent applications, and in 2026 BNY joined Kinexys, RBC and NVIDIA in a federated-learning fraud proof of concept. CEO Robin Vince joined OpenAI's boards in July 2026.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
