Verified project record

AI4Finance-Foundation/FinGPT

FinGPT provides open-source financial large language models and benchmarks intended for low-cost fine-tuning on financial tasks. It targets AI engineers and researchers who can operate Python tooling and, when running models locally, supply their own GPU hardware.

Project overview

Project type: RAG · Model Development · Model Runtime · Data Processing
Use cases: Data Analysis
Deployment: Refer to project documentation
License: MIT

Best for

AI engineers and data teams performing local-LLM training and customization for financial data analysis.
Researchers needing open-source models for multi-task financial text processing, such as relation extraction and headline classification.

Key capabilities

Analyzes market news and basics to predict next week's stock price movement for a given ticker.
Models for financial relation extraction, headline classification, and named entity recognition.
Enables lightweight adaptation and fine-tuning of base open-source LLMs for new data at low cost.
A framework designed for financial sentiment analysis, optimizing information depth through external knowledge retrieval.

Limitations and risks

The outputs generated by the project are not financial advice and are not a recommendation to trade real money.
Local model execution requires GPU hardware, with a minimum of a single RTX 3090 documented for local execution.

Getting started

Setup is rated as hard; it requires cloning the repository, installing dependencies, configuring the environment, and running Python scripts. Local model execution requires GPU hardware.
