Our perspective
Until very recently, building in quantitative fields relied heavily on human prowess and large teams: Not anymore. (but this is not an agentic AI pitch)
AI is developing immense capacity to reason, coupled with practically unlimited computational bandwidth. There is little reason to ask for faster horses, when we now can have rocket ships (especially if we want to reach stars).
Thus, small teams with talent density can now deliver better and faster ever before. At Tideseed, we provide services and products (see Robokami) in mainly finance, energy and optimization.
