Archify is an AI agent skill for creating beautiful and verifiable diagrams of architecture, workflows, sequences, data flows, and lifecycles. The output is self-contained HTML with motion and sharp export. The novelty lies in standardizing AI-generated diagrams, ensuring accuracy and maintainability.
This open-source project claims to run anywhere and integrate with any tool, offering a flexible solution for developers and automated workflows. Its value lies in breaking platform constraints and enhancing workflow universality and scalability.
This card introduces a GitHub project that provides a structured academic research workflow for Claude Code, covering research, writing, review, revision, and finalization. Novelty lies in integrating AI assistance with academic processes to enhance efficiency and quality.

This study introduces PortBench, a benchmarking framework designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on portfolio management tasks. Unlike existing benchmarks, PortBench covers six heterogeneous asset classes and includes a static QA dataset and a dynamic five-stage allocation pipeline, along with two novel metrics to assess correlation and error compounding, providing a more comprehensive evaluation for real-world financial decision-making.
This study introduces AutoREC, an open-source Python platform that uses reinforcement learning (RL) to automatically generate equivalent circuit models (ECMs) from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data, replacing manual trial-and-error, and suitable for autonomous experimental pipelines such as self-driving laboratories.
This paper introduces a neural covariance estimator that handles indefinite pairwise correlation matrices arising from incomplete data, improving portfolio optimization for small-cap-inclusive universes, with out-of-sample volatility reduction and Sharpe ratio enhancement.
A new framework structurally corrects common methodological flaws in LLM-driven trading strategy research, namely look-ahead bias and unaccounted search intensity. By excluding look-ahead via registry-validated tools and recording all evaluations to deflate performance, it provides a more realistic assessment of LLM-discovered strategies and quantifies evidence thresholds for passive benchmarks and human rules.
This survey reviews agentic quantitative trading, covering five stages: factor mining, signal discovery, portfolio construction, execution, and risk management. It highlights that current systems focus on signal discovery, multi-agent reliance on aggregation, and that strong predictive capability does not ensure live trading performance.
This study localizes the contraction of policy solution space in RLVR to the entrance stage, and shows that targeted interventions can recover diversity without sacrificing pass@1.

This course introduces how to build adaptive AI agents that retain experience across sessions, improving performance through skill induction, knowledge graphs, and model fine-tuning, addressing the issue of starting from scratch each time.
This knowledge card is based on an in-depth Hugging Face video that explains the architecture of long-term memory for AI agents, focusing on Mem0's memory stores, ingestion pipeline, hybrid retrieval (semantic search, BM25, entity boosting), and how to run the system locally with open models. It aims to help readers understand the complete design of agent memory beyond vector search.
This article discusses Paul Everitt's emphasis in a new DeepLearning.AI course on combining spec-driven development with local AI, noting that clear specifications enable smaller models to work effectively, offering developers a new approach from cloud to local AI coding.
