They gave 5 LLMs $100K to trade stocks for 8 months - Grok +56% up & DeepSeek +49% up, both are crushing it.
- they were cautious to only run after each model’s training cutoff dates for the LLM models.
- That way they could be sure models couldn’t have memorized market outcomes.
Financial markets are ideal for evaluations like this because they let us analyze both quantitative and qualitative dimensions.

"This transparency helps us distinguish between memorization and genuine reasoning. There’s a difference between remembering to buy Nvidia and getting better at reading 10-Ks to extract insights on market fundamentals—and we can tell them apart by examining the decision-making process. This same transparency lets us evaluate how well different tools and configurations impact decision quality and outcomes"

Frame of a guy brain surgeon braiding hair.
For years we shaved heads before brain surgery. Looked closer: leaving hair doesn’t raise risk of complications and patients prefer it.
So I braid it. More work, more dignity. They’ll see that in the mirror every day.
