What it does
The LLM in Sthira is a teacher. It can read your portfolio state, look at your goals, walk you through the math behind a rebalancing proposal, or explain what a TER is. What it cannot do — by architecture, not by policy promise — is place an order. The order path has no LLM in it.
This is a deliberate design choice, and we’ve written about it in some detail: see Why we don’t let the LLM trade for you on the studio site. Short version: a layman investor cannot give informed consent to a black-box decision-maker that operates faster than they can read. So we don’t ask them to.
The LLM is genuinely useful for everything around the trade: explaining, teaching, surfacing relevant context, and turning jargon into English. Just not for pulling the trigger.
