distilling a financial analyst: small open models to frontier accuracy
Fine-tuning small open-source models (Qwen3 8B and 14B, QLoRA on one RTX 4090) into a financial memo system where every number is mechanically verified: a tuned writer, a tuned repair model, and a deterministic gate that together match a frontier model on provable correctness. Every experiment pre-registered, including the failures.
