We train our own models and deploy them into financial markets,
one of the most competitive real-world environments where
intelligence is measured in returns.
We are building superintelligence.
Most AI labs are getting two things wrong:
- The real world is multiplayer, adversarial, and always changing. No amount of training on problems that sit still (code, chat, math) will create superintelligent agents.
- Monetizing intelligence by selling an API or SaaS product is inefficient and leads to commoditization.
Protogon Research is a VC-backed AGI lab that solves both these issues by taking a radically simple approach: training and monetizing AI agents directly in financial markets through proprietary trading.
Markets are (1) the most multiplayer, adversarial, and fast-changing environment on Earth, with verifiable rewards at scale, and (2) the most direct way to turn AI intelligence into cash without having to worry about sales, marketing, customers, or product.
