We believe that trading is a unique test-bed to develop highly intelligent AI systems. Focusing on trading provides us with several key advantages over other approaches. We can:
- Develop proprietary models and datasets, which helps us avoid the race-to-the-bottom other AI companies are stuck in.
- Rapidly translate technological improvements into increased revenue.
- Focus on building innovative systems without the need for sales, marketing, customer support, or business development.
- Build models optimized for a true understanding of the world, rather than simply replicating human behavior or generating superficially pleasing outputs.
