It's a very bold move to open-source a system that claims to generate alpha. In the world of quantitative finance, any real market edge disappears the moment enough people know about it
- prism_insight 11mo agoThanks for the thoughtful comment! You're right that it's a bold move. However, PRISM isn't a static strategy—it's a dynamic multi-agent system that analyzes real-time data differently each time. The complexity of implementation and the non-deterministic nature of LLMs make it hard to replicate the exact edge. Plus, I believe open-source innovation in this space benefits everyone.

- KurSix 11mo agoFair point but there's a nuance: by open-sourcing the code the author is democratizing that exact infrastructure for adaptation Now hundreds of other developers have the same "fast" tool and everyone has to run (adapt) even faster just to stay in place. So publishing the tool still dilutes the edge, just at a meta-level
