What changes when it is financial services
We always benchmark against the prompted baseline. If the tuned model does not clearly win on quality or cost, shipping it would be an expensive way to feel sophisticated.
In financial services, every automated decision must be explainable and reproducible months after the fact. That single fact reshapes how custom model fine-tuning has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is reconciliation, usually integrated against regulatory reporting platforms. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector
Can we use AI in credit decisions?
With explainability, documented model governance and human review on adverse outcomes, yes. RBI expects you to be able to explain any decision that affects a customer.
How do you handle data residency?
Deployment inside Indian regions or on your own infrastructure, which is the usual requirement for regulated financial data.
Should we fine-tune?
Usually not first. Prompting and retrieval solve most problems more cheaply. Fine-tuning wins for consistent format, narrow domain style, and high-volume tasks where a smaller model can replace a larger one.
How much data do we need?
For LoRA on a narrow task, often a few thousand high-quality examples. Quality matters far more than volume. We review the dataset before training anything.
Can we own the model?
With open-weight base models, yes. You hold the weights and can run them on your own infrastructure indefinitely.
