This SageMaker model package provides a REST API to analyze the sentiment of financial text such as news headlines, analyst notes, and market commentary.
Each input text is classified as negative, neutral, or positive with a confidence score. The model is fine-tuned on financial news and financial phrase datasets, so it reads market language such as "beat estimates" or "missed guidance" in context rather than as generic positive or negative wording.
Use it to tag news and analyst commentary in a research pipeline, monitor tone around a ticker or sector, or enrich market data feeds before downstream analysis.
The API accepts input as JSON or CSV and supports real-time endpoints and batch transform.
Model and training data
The model is a ModernBERT-base (answerdotai/ModernBERT-base) text classifier
fine-tuned with PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers on the public nickmuchi/financial-classification and
zeroshot/twitter-financial-news-sentiment datasets.
It runs in network isolation on SageMaker, so no data leaves your account.
Known limitations
English only. Other languages are not supported.
The model was fine-tuned on inputs up to 512 tokens. Longer text is
accepted, but accuracy is only characterized to that length; split long
documents into passages before sending.
Tuned for short financial text such as headlines and analyst notes.
Long filings should be split into sentences first.
Sentiment is about the language used, not a prediction of price
movement. Do not use it as investment advice.
Measured performance
Accuracy 84.9 percent, macro-F1 0.831, measured on 3,397 held-out examples from the financial news and phrase datasets.
The split is seeded (70/20/10, seed 42) and was not used in training.
Real-time endpoint on ml.m5.large: 252 ms median per request (273 ms p95).
Throughput on the same instance: about 24 texts per second at a batch size of 32.
Highlights
Classify financial news and market commentary as negative, neutral, or positive - not a movie-review model
Fine-tuned for headlines and analyst language; ModernBERT + ONNX for cheap, fast SageMaker inference
JSON or CSV; real-time endpoint or batch transform, no training job
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by the hour for model inference, billed per host-hour on the instance you run. Pricing splits along two lines. First, you pick an instance type: ml.m5.large, ml.m5.xlarge, ml.m5.2xlarge, ml.c5.xlarge, or ml.c5.2xlarge. These differ in compute and memory size. Second, you pick a mode: real-time for live endpoints or batch for bulk jobs. Each instance-and-mode pairing is a separate rate. Your cost scales with how long each endpoint or batch job runs, plus standard AWS infrastructure charges. There is no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
How do the real-time and batch modes differ for billing on the same instance type?
Real-time mode runs a live endpoint that stays up to answer requests, billing per host-hour while the endpoint is active. Batch mode runs a job over bulk data, billing per host-hour while the job runs, then stops. Real-time suits continuous request flows; batch suits large one-off processing.
What does one host-hour cover, and am I charged when the endpoint is idle?
One host-hour is one hour that your chosen instance runs the model, whether serving requests or waiting. A real-time endpoint accrues charges the whole time it stays up, even with no traffic. To stop software charges, delete the endpoint. Batch jobs meter only while running.
Which factor drives my cost most — the instance type or the runtime?
Both combine: your per-host-hour rate depends on the instance type and mode you pick, then multiplies by hours run. Larger instances carry a higher hourly rate. Runtime hours usually drive total cost for steady real-time endpoints. AWS infrastructure charges apply on top of the software rate.

An Amazon SageMaker model package is a pre-trained machine learning model ready to use without additional training. Use the model package to create a model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.
Deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker AI using the following options:
Real-time inference
Deploy the model as an API endpoint for your applications. When you send data to the endpoint, SageMaker processes it and returns results by API response. The endpoint runs continuously until you delete it. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs while the endpoint runs. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Deploy models for real-time inference .
Batch transform
Deploy the model to process batches of data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). SageMaker runs the job, processes your data, and returns results to Amazon S3. When complete, SageMaker stops the model. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs only during the batch job. Duration depends on your model, instance type, and dataset size. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Batch transform for inference with Amazon SageMaker AI .
Version release notes
Important: security update. The inference container is rebuilt on Amazon
Linux 2023, replacing a Debian base that carried HIGH and CRITICAL CVEs
with no fixed version available upstream.
The model itself is unchanged. This version is exported from the same
fine-tuned checkpoint as version 1.
Request and response formats are unchanged: JSON or CSV in, label plus
confidence out.
