FinLLM: The Financial Services-Specific Language Model
Purpose-Built AI for Regulated Financial Environments
An LLM That Speaks the Language of Finance
In an era where generic AI models fall short in addressing the nuanced demands of the financial sector, FinLLM emerges as a solution tailored for the industry’s unique challenges. Developed in alignment with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), Information Commissioner Office (ICO), and the EU AI Act, FinLLM ensures compliance, transparency, and reliability from the ground up.
Purpose-Built, Performance-Proven
FinLLM is designed with a deep understanding of financial regulations, ensuring that AI deployments meet the highest standards of data privacy, auditability, and responsible usage.
Benchmarking against leading models like GPT-4o mini, Gemini 1.5 Flash, Qwen 2.5, and OLMo-2, FinLLM demonstrates exceptional performance in tasks critical to financial services:
- Text Classification: Accurately identifies conduct risks in adviser communications.
- Long-Context Reasoning: Effectively analyses policy documents and investment reports.
- Tabular Data Analysis: Interprets financial information and onboarding forms with precision.
- Multi-Turn Dialogue Modeling: Maintains coherent and compliant customer interactions.
These capabilities are validated using AveniBench, our proprietary evaluation suite tailored to real-world financial tasks.
In the past 12 months, FinLLM has progressed from first prototype to a suite of domain-leading financial models. As outlined in The Year of FinLLM report, our latest 7B, 14B and 24B models now outperform frontier systems across a range of financial tasks.
And this is only the start. New specialised and long-context variants are already in development, pushing performance even further and strengthening FinLLM’s position as the benchmark for financial-grade language understanding.
Autonomous Financial Agents Demand a New Standard of Trust
We’re not just building a better LLM, we’re building the core intelligence layer for our next-generation agentic AI framework. As AI moves beyond content generation and into autonomous action, the bar for compliance, transparency, and control rises dramatically.
Agentic AI will interact with live systems, initiate financial decisions, trigger customer communications, and influence risk outcomes all without constant human oversight. That changes everything.
FinLLM is not built just to power intelligent outputs – but to power intelligent action you can trust.
