Here is a complete, structured list of the capabilities / “tools” OpenAI currently provides for agents (through ChatGPT and the API), summarized by OpenAI itself: 1. Reasoning & General Models GPT models (GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-o3, GPT-o1, Codex variants) Text, code, multimodal reasoning (text, images, audio). Used as the “core brain” of agents. 2. Code & … Continue reading OpenAI’s Offering to Assist Engineers to Build Agents
Leveraging OpenAI’s Agents to Improve My Agent
Existing Findings: Rigid flow in SimpleAgent.handle_user_request(): Heavy branching between categorization, correction checks, and confirmation loops forces users into strict yes/no responses and long prompts before running tools. Tool confirmation friction: The confirmation block within SimpleAgent.handle_user_request() expects precise inputs; any deviation reruns prompts rather than gracefully extracting intent. LLM prompt templates: Prompts in SimpleAgent.generate_intelligent_analysis() and SimpleAgent.select_tool_for_request() include verbose, formal instructions lacking conversational tone … Continue reading Leveraging OpenAI’s Agents to Improve My Agent

What We’ve Learned From a Year of Building with LLMs by Eugene Yan et al
The report is structured into three levels: Tactical, Operational, and Strategic. Effective LLM development relies on clear prompting strategies, structured design, and robust evaluation. Techniques such as n-shot in-context learning, chain-of-thought reasoning, and well-chosen examples improve model guidance, while schemas, specifications, and metadata ensure consistent inputs and outputs. Breaking tasks into smaller prompts helps models … Continue reading What We’ve Learned From a Year of Building with LLMs by Eugene Yan et al
Quant Assistant Agent Comparison to Robust Agents in Market
Even though it's raw, this quant assistant agent I built can be compared to current agents like Claude (Anthropic), Cursor, and Windsurf. High-level summary Your agent is a focused, developer-controlled ReAct loop with MCP tooling and a local code-exec sandbox. It’s closer to a programmable research/analysis assistant than a full IDE agent. Compared to Claude/Cursor/Windsurf, … Continue reading Quant Assistant Agent Comparison to Robust Agents in Market
How to Make Money by a Country and an Individual
Money, wealth, and prosperity—whether for a person or a nation—are not tangible assets in the way we often imagine. They're fundamentally created from "thin air," or more accurately, from credit and debt. The core principle is simple: money is a promise of future value. When a bank grants a loan, it's not simply handing you … Continue reading How to Make Money by a Country and an Individual
U.S. vs. China Debt and How Fed and Central Bank Play the Role
The U.S. national debt is the cumulative total of the federal government's annual budget deficits. It's a direct result of the government consistently spending more than it collects in taxes. This debt, in the form of Treasury securities, finances a wide range of government functions and programs, including social security, Medicare, defense, and infrastructure. During … Continue reading U.S. vs. China Debt and How Fed and Central Bank Play the Role
Quant Assistant Agent First Version Summary
The current setup uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) which is: Request-Response based: Each tool call is a single request that returns a complete response JSON-based messaging: Structured but not optimized for streaming Stdio transport: Communication over stdin/stdout pipes Synchronous by nature: Even with async Python, the protocol itself expects complete responses Worth noting the system prompt … Continue reading Quant Assistant Agent First Version Summary

Idea of Transforming MCP Agent to a Quant Assistant!
My current mcp server equipped agent can do # Current: Natural Language → Tool Selection → Results DisplayUser: "analyze my portfolio against S&P 500"Agent: [Calls pa_analyze_portfolio] → "Analysis complete! Results saved to Excel." After transformation, it will # Enhanced: Natural Language → Tool Execution → Code Generation → Advanced Analysis User: "analyze my portfolio against … Continue reading Idea of Transforming MCP Agent to a Quant Assistant!
