I am in banking and it's fine we have some finetuned models to work with our code base. I think COBOL is a good language for LLM use. It's verbose and English like syntax aligns naturally with the way language models process text. Can't complain.

Can you elaborate? See questions about what kind of use in sibling thread.

And in addition to the type of development you are doing in COBOL, I'm wondering if you also have used LLMs to port existing code to (say) Java, C# or whatever is current in (presumably) banking?

What these models are doing - migrations, new feature releases, etc? What does your setup look like?

I suspect they're doing whatever job needs to be done, as with models in any other language.

I also suspect they need a similar amount of hand holding and review.

		This is implied but I guess needs to be made explicit: people are looking for answers from devs with direct knowledge of the question at hand, not what random devs suspect.
