What it is

ProsusAI's FinBERT fine-tunes BERT on the Financial PhraseBank for positive, negative and neutral sentiment. It predates LLMs but is still a common baseline and a cheap, fast component in news-sentiment pipelines.

Stable; no commits since 2022.

In the maintainers' words: “Financial Sentiment Analysis with BERT”
