AI in finance covers what financial institutions are actually deploying, not what they are announcing. Fintechbits tracks the models and agents moving into production — underwriting, fraud detection, compliance review, customer service and document processing — and the results when they are measured rather than demonstrated. Coverage includes the banks and fintechs building on large language models, the vendors selling to them, and the regulators deciding what counts as an explainable decision. It is the largest single subject on the site, so the hub leans on what separates a real deployment from a pilot: who is using it, at what volume, and what it replaced. Model releases are covered where they change what a financial firm can do.
