Y Combinator incubated trading AI platform Instinct officially launched

The smart trading system Instinct, supported by Y Combinator, is officially launched. This platform aims to open the research and trading capabilities of professional investment institutions to individual traders.

The Instinct team members come from organizations such as Squarepoint Capital, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, and the Quantum Computing Center at the University of Southern California. The platform integrates fragmented financial tools and information links through independently operating intelligent agents, capable of processing massive amounts of market data, information, and market sentiment in parallel, automatically discovering cross-market opportunities, building trading tools, and executing trades.

With this system, individual traders can cover more niche and specialized investment scenarios, achieving more flexible strategy layouts.

Officials believe that the future investment model will shift to individual traders operating in conjunction with AI agent teams, and it is anticipated that within two years, there may emerge single-person investment institutions managing up to 1 billion dollars.
