Researchers have developed FinRAG-12B, a 12-billion parameter model specifically designed for grounded question answering in the banking sector. This model was trained using a data-efficient pipeline that optimizes answer quality and citation grounding, outperforming GPT-4.1 in citation accuracy. FinRAG-12B also incorporates a calibrated refusal mechanism to handle unanswerable questions more safely than base models, and has been deployed at over 40 financial institutions, demonstrating significant improvements in query resolution and response speed at a lower cost.
