Today's Brief
The common thread today is that AI tooling is getting both cheaper and more capable, which is like watching a high-performance sports car become affordable enough for weekend racers - suddenly the question is no longer whether you can afford the car, but whether you can handle the speed. This lands on a trading desk as a question of how to use these new models to automate tasks that were previously too expensive or difficult to automate, like predicting stock prices or analyzing market trends. As you're considering which tasks to automate, ask yourself whether the goal is to simply speed up existing workflows or to use the new capability to ask entirely different questions, like what would happen if you applied these models to predicting athlete performance or optimizing team strategy,
