AI News Sentiment

What it is

AI News Sentiment — registry key news_sentiment_score.

Classifier metric. See the bands table below for the band-by-band reading.

Source

Source module: finrep_ai
Data source: computed

Derived metric — produced inside the platform (app/sources/finrep_ai.py or equivalent) rather than fetched as a raw upstream value. See the How it's computed section below for the formula.

How it’s computed

Anthropic Claude analyses 24h news flow alongside the live signal pack and scores SPY-relevant sentiment 0-10 (0=bearish, 5=balanced, 10=bullish). Persisted as ai_briefs.news_sentiment_score on every brief firing. The alignment dispatch reads the LATEST row via app/signals/ai_briefs.py:read_latest_brief() and maps the score to BULLISH (>=6.5) / NEUTRAL (3.5-6.5) / BEARISH (<=3.5) via news_sentiment_implication() in app/signals/implications.py. Flag-gated behind ENABLE_AI_SENTIMENT_ALIGNMENT=1; production flip waits on /api/v1/ai-brief/accuracy?days=30 showing per-horizon hit_rate >= 55%.

Where it surfaces

• API field: ai_brief.news_sentiment_score on GET /api/v1/signals/latest
• Surface: /signals/sparklines (UI sparklines)

Bands / thresholds

Classifier direction: higher_is_better.

Health-score / alignment role

• Alignment category: news_sentiment, default weight 1.5 (see /kb/alignment for the 11-category framework).
• Contributes to: implication.news_sentiment, alignment.news_sentiment

Release cadence

• Publishes: intraday

AI brief scheduler fires 5 times per market day (08:30 / 09:35 / 12:00 / 15:30 / 16:15 ET) plus up to 3 event-driven triggers from breaking-news arrivals. Score persisted to ai_briefs.news_sentiment_score on each firing; the alignment substrate reads the LATEST row when ENABLE_AI_SENTIMENT_ALIGNMENT=1.
