Who's Trading Better: AI or Human?

Happy long weekend eve! Sipping my Gin & Tonic, trying to enjoy the last days of my holidays. Good time to clean out your inbox and ensure you don't publish any breaking changes before the weekend.

Google Labs

Google is secretly releasing some amazing projects. However, they are not getting much press. I highly recommend having a look at the Google Labs projects that are currently available. Here are just a couple of examples:

  • Data Science Agent - autonomous code agent
  • Whisk - Uses images as Prompts
  • /Code - AI Developer experiments
  • And tons more!!

​

Open Source AI Hedge Fund

What if you could employ all the greatest investing minds in the world to help you manage your finances? Well, wait no more. The AI Hedge Fund is an open-source project that simulates trading your portfolio.

​

The Tool creates agents from the best investment minds and orchestrates them through a Risk Manager and Portfolio Manager Agent before making decisions. Using a similar agent architecture, the project is exciting and inspiring for other use cases.

​

The AI Hedge Fund repo is also trending this week on GitHub. (Not investment advice)

​

VS Code Agent Mode

VS Code just got better. Microsoft drops AgentMode in VS Code—bringing AI agents directly into your coding workflow. Think multi-agent debugging, smart code suggestions, and context-aware conversations, all inside your IDE.

​

Want to know the difference between MCP and Google's A2A? The Tweet thread, including an infographic, explains it the best I've seen so far.

​

If you want to highlight a project you are working on, reply to this email and let me know.

Also, let me know the hits and misses this week. I will publish all feedback in the mailbag next week.

Happy Weekend!

Moon setting on the alps and 2020

Byte Sized Updates about Containers, Cloud & Tech I took the above picture this morning (New Years Eve) of the moon setting behind the Swiss Alps and on 2020 (It pays to get up early). Watching the moon set really brings closure on 2020 on the ups and downs. As we close out 2020, we could focus on all the negatives but instead lets focus on the positives and start planning 2021! Happy New Years to you! Forget New Year's Resolutions and instead conduct a year in Review I have to dig this...
