Could you build this?
Partial While an interface and basic PyTorch script can be scaffolded, efficient distillation of LLM labels into lightweight classifiers and on-device deployment requires ML engineering know-how.
What it would actually take: Requires a pipeline combining LLM synthetic labeling (OpenAI/Anthropic API), tokenization, and fine-tuning lightweight encoder models (e.g., MobileBERT, ModernBERT, or small Transformers) using PyTorch or ONNX Runtime. Mobile/phone export requires quantization (INT8) and CoreML/TFLite model conversion pipelines.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
