Quant Trading for Programmers: Column Roadmap

A practical engineering roadmap for building a quant-trading platform around a real GitHub project: Python project structure, A-share rules, data layers, factors, backtesting, paper trading, alerts, daily runs, and operations.

Can Gemma 4 12B on Ollama Read Video Directly?

A practical test from official docs to local verification: Gemma 4 12B can understand video as frame sequences, but Ollama did not accept MP4 directly in this test. The stable path is frame extraction plus multi-image input.

A/B Testing for API Services: From Rollout Switches to Trustworthy Experiments

A/B testing is not only for frontend pages. API services also need experiment discipline for ranking, throttling, provider selection, fallback logic, and cost control: stable bucketing, real exposure, cross-request attribution, guardrail metrics, and cleanup after the test ends.

AI World Cup Prediction Should Start With Probabilities

AI World Cup Prediction Should Start With Probabilities

World Cup prediction should not ask a model to guess a champion. A more useful approach combines historical results, team strength, goal distributions, tournament simulation, and live information into one probability framework.

Browser Agents Need Guardrails Before More Permissions

Browser Agents Need Guardrails Before More Permissions

Once browser agents move from reading pages to clicking buttons, filling forms, and submitting actions, their product value rises together with the risk of mistakes and overreach. Guardrails must mature before automation is granted broad authority.

From Prompt to Context Engineering

From Prompt to Context Engineering

Agent systems are no longer just about writing a prompt. What determines production quality is how we select, trim, order, validate, and replay context so the model gets just enough information at each step.

Data Contracts in AI Products

Data Contracts in AI Products

AI products depend heavily on data semantics. A data contract is not another document. It puts field meaning, examples, quality rules, lineage, ownership, and release responsibility into the engineering workflow.

Why LLM Inference Traffic Needs Its Own Gateway

Why LLM Inference Traffic Needs Its Own Gateway

LLM inference is not ordinary HTTP traffic. GPU capacity, context length, streaming responses, queue latency, and model versions quickly break traditional load-balancing assumptions.

Small Models Are Moving Back onto Devices

Small Models Are Moving Back onto Devices

Edge AI is not a smaller copy of cloud LLMs. It is about latency, power, privacy, caching, product boundaries, and engineering constraints that live much closer to the device.

MCP Needs Security Boundaries, Not Just More Tools

MCP Needs Security Boundaries, Not Just More Tools

MCP makes tool integration more uniform, but once tools can read files, query databases, and send messages, security becomes a problem of permissions, identity, audit trails, data flow, and supply chain.

AI Agents Need Observability Too

AI Agents Need Observability Too

When an agent system fails, the final answer often hides the reason. Debugging production agents requires traces for tasks, tools, context, cost, retries, and evidence at every step.

Post-Quantum Migration Starts With Your Crypto Debt

After the NIST standards, post-quantum cryptography is no longer only a research topic. The hard part is inventory, protocol compatibility, vendor coordination, and long-term crypto agility.

RAG Evaluation Should Focus on How Systems Fail

RAG Evaluation Should Focus on How Systems Fail

After a RAG system goes live, the question is not whether it can answer demos. It is when it answers wrong, why it answers wrong, and whether those failures have clear boundaries.

Wasm Component Model Gives Plugin Runtimes A Real Boundary

Plugin systems often collapse under dependency conflicts and loose permissions. Wasm Component Model standardizes interfaces, capabilities, and runtime boundaries for multi-language plugins and edge execution.

Codex App Server: Bringing Coding Agents Into Your Own Workbench

A practical look at the protocol boundary of Codex App Server, the product and engineering scenarios it fits, and how it compares with Claude Code and Cursor in automation, cloud agents, and custom integrations.

Quant Trading for Programmers 44: Execution Guard

Article 44 adds ExecutionDecision, centralizing the execution judgment for ready, dry-run-ready, and blocked states so the command layer cannot accidentally trigger real paper-trading side effects.
