🚨 Someone built an AI that reads candlestick charts the way GPT reads English. Trained on 12 billion records from 45 exchanges. Outperforms every model by 93%. Live BTC demo. Free. It's called Kronos. The first open source foundation model built for financial markets. Not a general AI repurposed for finance. An AI that speaks the native language of candlestick patterns. Every other model treats financial data like weather data. Kronos treats financial data like financial data. Here's what it does: → Price forecasting. Feed it candlesticks. It predicts where price goes next. → Volatility prediction. Forecasts how volatile an asset will be before it happens. → Zero-shot. No fine-tuning. Works on any asset, any market, any timeframe. → 45 exchanges. Binance, NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, and 41 more. → 4 model sizes. 4M params runs on a laptop. 499M for max accuracy. → Live demo running right now. BTC/USDT. 24-hour forecast. Updated hourly. Here's the wildest part: → 93% more accurate than the leading time series model → 87% more accurate than the best non-pretrained baseline → All zero-shot. No fine-tuning. Out of the box. Hedge funds spend millions on proprietary models. Bloomberg Terminal costs $24,000/year. This runs on your laptop. Few lines of Python. Free. Built at Tsinghua University. Accepted at AAAI 2026. Models on Hugging Face. 11.6K GitHub stars. 2.4K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source.
