# Fin-RWKV: Attention Free Financal Expert (WIP)
Fin-RWKV is a cutting-edge, attention-free model designed specifically for financial analysis and prediction. Developed as part of a MindsDB Hackathon, this model leverages the simplicity and efficiency of the RWKV architecture to process financial data, providing insights and forecasts with remarkable accuracy. Fin-RWKV is tailored for professionals and enthusiasts in the finance sector who seek to integrate advanced deep learning techniques into their financial analyses.

## Use Cases
- Sentiment analysis
- Forecast
- Product Pricing

## Features
- Attention-Free Architecture: Utilizes the RWKV (Recurrent Weighted Kernel-based) model, which bypasses the complexity of attention mechanisms while maintaining high performance.
- Lower Costs: 10x to over a 100x+ lower inference cost, 2x to 10x lower training cost
- Tinyyyy: Lightweight enough to run on CPUs in real-time bypassing the GPU - and is able to run on your laptop today
- Finance-Specific Training: Trained on the gbharti/finance-alpaca dataset, ensuring that the model is finely tuned for financial data analysis.
- Transformers Library Integration: Built on the popular 'transformers' library, ensuring easy integration with existing ML pipelines and applications.
