Today, we’re launching Prodigy Research (YC S26), the frontier AI trading research lab. We’re training the world’s best foundation model for quantitative finance.
Our AI quant outperforms a top 10% trader at Jane Street, and we’ve already achieved more than 100% returns in live trading over our YC batch, while major indices were flat or down. Prodigy’s model beats Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol at autonomous quant research.
Our founders are brothers who have built strategies generating billions in PnL on a Jane Street trading desk, trained SoTA foundation models at Google DeepMind, and shipped cutting-edge AI to billions of users at Apple.
A new era has arrived in the world of quantitative finance. To learn more, contact [email protected].
