This talk will explore our current understanding of the fast radio burst (FRB) radiation mechanism, highlighting key observational findings and the constraints they place on theoretical models. I will also discuss how FRBs can serve as powerful probes of cosmology and the reionization era, providing unique insights into the early universe.
