How Jump Trading is scaling quant research with ChatGPT

Summary

Jump Trading, a quantitative trading firm, is using GPT-6 Astra to hand longer and more complex research workflows to AI agents. Lucas Baker, Head of LLM R&D at Jump, says the model enables agents to run multi-day analyses, merge and stack improvements recursively, and redirect their own efforts against agreed criteria. Jump keeps human review of agent outputs, such as trading signals, before they enter a controlled execution environment.
