What changes when it is banking
Orqent Labs fine-tunes and distils models for teams with genuine volume, where the economics of inference have started to matter more than the ceiling of capability.
In banking, core banking systems are not to be touched, so everything integrates around them. 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 loan file assembly, usually integrated against core banking platforms. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector
Will this touch our core banking system?
No. We integrate through supported interfaces and read replicas, never by modifying the core.
How do you handle AML false positives?
Context enrichment and tuned scoring so alert volume matches investigator capacity, with every decision explainable in a case file.
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.
