DeepMind’s Matej Balog says AlphaEvolve designed code that looked human, but wasn't. "You look for an algorithm that finds an algorithm." From a bare prompt, it invented tricks, randomness, and structure. A glimpse into something emergent, but purposeful.

MIT defines an algorithm in one sentence that changes how you think about trading "a computational procedure that takes an input and produces an output through a well-defined sequence of steps" that's it. not AI. not machine learning. not a black box a set of rules that takes data in and spits a decision out every quant strategy ever built is just an algorithm Citadel's execution system that routes 40% of US equity volume is an algorithm Renaissance's Medallion Fund running millions of trades per year is an algorithm Jane Street's market making engine processing $26 trillion annually is an algorithm input: market data rules: mathematical conditions output: trade or no trade the difference between a quant desk and a retail trader is not the data it's that one side wrote down their rules precisely enough for a machine to execute them retail says "if RSI is low and the chart looks good, i'll probably buy" a quant desk says "if RSI 1.5, buy 0.3% of NAV" same logic. one is a feeling. the other is an algorithm the feeling can't be tested, can't be repeated, can't be measured the algorithm can be backtested across 10,000 trades and you know exactly when it works and when it doesn't > this lecture: MIT, free, 70 seconds > algorithmic trading volume: 60-75% of all US equity trades > Jane Street, Citadel, Two Sigma: every trade is algorithmically executed > tools to build your own: Python, free data, a laptop you don't need a faster computer or better data you need to write your strategy down precisely enough that a machine could run it without you that's the whole leap. from intuition to algorithm full breakdown in the video below
