v0.3.0 frames ml-quant-trading as a concrete benchmark target for coding
agents, quant agents, and agent harnesses.
The release does not claim live tradability or deployable alpha. It packages a realistic research workflow that agents can run, audit, and report without needing broker credentials or proprietary market data.
Can your coding agent reproduce a 213-factor, cost-aware quant research pipeline without overstating the result?
- Add the Agent Quant Benchmark Challenge.
- Connect the challenge from the README top links and fast-path table.
- Point agent users to existing reproduction, benchmark, DSH, public-data, and private-evaluation report templates.
- Keep private evaluation explicitly redaction-safe for users who cannot expose strategy details, vendor data, or institutional infrastructure.
- Preserve the research boundary: synthetic and public-data outputs are reproducibility evidence, not trading recommendations.
| Track | Best for |
|---|---|
| Zero-account smoke test | First-time users and package smoke tests |
| Protocol v1 CPU benchmark | Agent and hardware reproducibility reports |
| DeepSeek Harness run | DSH users who want tool-assisted benchmark validation |
| Public-data validation | Cost-aware public-data reports with caveats |
| Private evaluation note | Redacted institutional or proprietary-data evaluations |
I turned ml-quant-trading into an Agent Quant Benchmark Challenge:
Can your coding agent reproduce a 213-factor PyTorch quant pipeline, preserve
the evidence bundle, and avoid calling a backtest "alpha"?
Zero-account demo, fixed CPU benchmark, DSH path, public-data validation, and
redacted private-evaluation notes are all supported.

This release is for research and engineering evaluation. It is not investment advice, not a live-trading system, and not a claim that synthetic or public-data benchmarks predict deployable trading performance.
