Vectorized Backtesting

What’s the Deal with Vectorized Backtesting? (And Why Should You Care?)

Let’s be real: backtesting is like the ultimate “what if” game for traders. What if I’d bought Apple stock in 2005? What if I’d shorted GameStop before it went viral? But here’s the kicker—what if your backtest is lying to you? Yep, that’s right. Most backtests fail, and it’s not just because of bad data…

LLaVA-o1: Redefining Visual Language Model Reasoning

LLaVA-o1: Transforming How We Think with Visual Language Models (VLMs)

The performance of Visual Language Models (VLMs) has often lagged behind due to a lack of systematic approaches. This limitation becomes especially pronounced in tasks requiring complex reasoning, such as multimodal question answering, scientific diagram interpretation, or logical inference with visual inputs. The introduction of LLaVA-o1 represents a significant leap forward. This innovative model tackles…
