RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS

RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS

DISTRIBUTION MODELING

A new paradigm for representing uncertainty.

SICK BIDE introduces Binary Implicit Distribution Encoding, a neural architecture that models probability distributions via binary representations, paired with GPU-optimized softmax integral computation. Enables exact, assumption-free inference across high-dimensional, continuous and categorical domains.

SCALING LAWS FOR PREDICTABILITY

Inspired by LLM scaling trends.

Apogée investigates how world model capabilities scale with compute, data, and model size. We quantify how many bits of future price action can be inferred from historical data, and explore the limits of time-series predictability using deep learning.

INFORMATION-THEORETIC TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

Time-series forecasting as information extraction.

Our research leverages extropy as a measure of predictive information, focusing on signal density, volatility clustering, and long-range temporal dependencies.

GPU-ACCELERATED FORECASTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Fast, interpretable, and scalable.

We build production-grade forecasting stacks. Our tooling includes custom GPU kernels, efficient Monte Carlo simulation, and integrated model evaluation pipelines, enabling deployment with scientific fidelity.

WORLD MODELING FOR MARKETS

Learned simulators for financial environments.

Building internal models that capture market dynamics: regime transitions, tail behavior, and multi-horizon rollouts. The foundation for planning and counterfactual evaluation in autonomous finance.

APOGÉE: SCALING LAWS FOR CRYPTO MARKET FORECASTING

Experimental framework to quantify the limits of predictability in crypto markets. Measures extractable information using deep learning and scaling experiments across model size, dataset scope, and compute. Benchmarks extropy gain per asset and timeframe. Designed as a reproducible, open benchmark for time-series forecasting in finance.
