What's happening: JPMorgan says generative AI will overhaul credit trading
JPMorgan’s global head of credit trading, Sanjay Jhamna, says generative AI can efficiently process the massive unstructured data in credit markets, which he calls the last frontier for automation. He noted that traditional AI models have struggled to capture the nuances of credit instruments.

LLMRouter, an open‑source library from UIUC, sits between applications and heterogeneous LLM pools to automatically select the most appropriate model per query. It offers over 16 routing algorithms organized into single‑round, multi‑round, personalized, and agentic families, each configurable via a unified Python API and CLI. The package includes a three‑stage data‑generation pipeline covering 11 benchmarks and a Gradio‑based chat UI for interactive routing. A plugin architecture lets developers add custom routers without altering core code.
