📹 FinSight AI Agent Demo: Metacognitive Multi-Agent Earnings Call Analysis
Watch a presentation to the AI Readiness SIG by Vincent Caldeira (Red Hat) on FinSight Agent, a FINOS community prototype developed with Columbia University’s Secure Fin AI Lab. The session explores how agent evaluation must assess the full system lifecycle (tool use, orchestration, and traces), not just LLM outputs.

OSFF TORONTO SPECIAL SECTION
🍁 OSFF Toronto 2026 Spotlight: The AI & Hot Topics Track
If you are joining us at OSFF Toronto this April, you won't want to miss the AI & Hot Topics track taking over the Giovanni Room on Tuesday, April 14th!
Track Overview: This year’s track confronts the reality of adopting next-generation technology in highly regulated environments. It moves past the hype of GenAI to tackle deterministic Agentic AI, the "Synthetic Senior" dilemma in open-source contribution, and decentralized anomaly detection. Beyond AI, this track dives deep into modern infrastructure—from reclaiming idle on-prem servers with Kubernetes spot scheduling to automating SDLC controls and securing multi-cloud environments.
The Practitioner Advantage: What makes this track truly special is the massive presence of technical leaders from the world's top financial institutions. You won't just hear from vendors; you will see exactly how RBC, TD Bank, Citi, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase are actively building, governing, and scaling open-source solutions in production.
Check out a preview of this track on the Open Source in Finance Podcast
