This work by the Santander AI lab is designed to help determine which AI model is best suited for a task and deploy it in the most efficient fashion, the bank announced Monday (Oct. 19).

“As part of this effort, Santander has been progressively moving from large general-purpose models towards smaller, specialised models designed for specific banking tasks,” Santander said in a news release provided to PYMNTS.

In selected experiments, this approach has cut serving costs from €5 per interaction to approximately €0.03 while upholding strong performance, the release added.

With the AI lab, Santander has constructed its “Model Arena” to evaluate open-weight models against banking tasks and determine which model is right for each workload. It is also specializing in models using the Nvidia NeMo Customizer.

The companies say their partnership is already bearing fruit. In one experimental customer-service use case, Santander improved conversation quality while lowering costs by more than 50% by deploying a more efficient AI model.

Now, Santander and Nvidia say they will continue to work together on areas like foundation models, AI agents, fraud and anti-money laundering capabilities, real-time decisioning and advanced simulation technologies, such as banking digital twins.
