Finance Chat
Finance Chat is an open AI model for money and finance questions in plain chat. It runs fully offline on a small desktop, so account numbers, deal terms, and other private figures never leave your machine.
What it can do
It talks through finance ideas in simple words: what a margin is, how a balance sheet fits together, or what a term in a deal means. It is built on AdaptLLM’s finance-chat, an open model trained on finance text, and packed into ready-to-run files for a single desktop.
How well it works
We scored five builds on FinanceBench, a strict 50-question test that only counts an exact number as right. The scores are low, 14 to 18 percent, and this is the honest weak spot: the model is good at explaining finance in words, but not at pulling exact figures out of a filing. So use it to learn and to draft, and check every number yourself. One nice find from our testing: the Q8_0 build matches the full-size model almost exactly while taking far less space.
How to run it
Download the GGUF files (the ready-to-run format) and run them with llama.cpp on a Spark-class desktop, a small AI machine with 128 GB of memory. The Q4_K_M build is the fastest, at about 31 tokens a second, and a good place to start.
