Could you build this?
Yes Fine-tuning or post-training a small open-weights model (like Llama-3 or Mistral) on a Gen-Z slang dataset using Unsloth/LoRA costs a few dollars on RunPod/Colab and requires only basic python tuning scripts.

1 comment analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Frontier models (via prompting)
Concerns raised: Better results achievable with simple prompting of larger models, Model size and GPU constraints limit optimization

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