// Our own AI model family
Trained in the open, live.
ATON Kestrel is a small powerhouse we are building for trading, in the open. Our own market models, which we train on years of exchange data, will judge when a move is worth its fees, a second reader checks each call, and a small language model of ours explains it in plain words. No version has passed its tests yet, and you can watch every try.
// The score log
Each specialist's newest fair test after real costs. Nothing has passed yet. When something does, it shows here first.
The newest valid test result for each specialist, after fees, on history Kestrel never learned from.
No evaluation has been logged yet.
Not yet used. Six recent months are kept away from all training. A version sits this exam once, only after it passes every other test.
Since Oct 13, 2026, reader version twin-read-v1
These are test results on past data, not a promise of future results. Paper trading only, no real money.
// What it is
Each part has one job. They are released together, under one version number, so you always know which Kestrel made a call.
Our own models, learning from years of exchange prices. They judge when a move is worth its fees and stay out when it is not, trading only when the expected move is at least 1.5 times the full cost.
It reads exchange announcements, regulators and the news as they publish, and scores the mood and how urgent it is. Urgent bad news, like an outage or a delisting, can pause a bot.
A language model of our own writes each decision up in plain words: what it saw, what it did, and why. When a trade closes, it writes what happened.
A larger AI model reads the same market less often: the charts, the order book, funding and the news. A trade needs both readers to agree, and in the Kestrel Eye you can ask both.
// Live build
This is the real build, streamed a few seconds behind the work. Training starts again from scratch on its own server soon. Where it is, how far it has got, and what it is learning from.
Passed means it made money after real costs on unseen days and stayed within the drawdown cap. Beating holding is shown, not required.
Housekeeping for the last 30 minutes. Download passes done: 103. Markets fully current: 17. Stalled: 9, back in the queue.
// How it is judged
No version reaches members because it trained. It reaches them because it passed.
Every specialist is tested on history it never trained on. Its net return after real costs must be above zero and its worst dip must stay within a cap; a leverage specialist must also beat holding. None has passed yet.
The latest six months are kept out of all training. Each release sits one exam on them, once, so the result is not tuned to the test.
A version that passes waits with its release notes and evidence. It reaches members only when a founder approves it.

// What Kestrel noticed today
Today the build of ALPHA v0.1.0 is in the harvest stage. The news reader took in 0 items. The overall mood reading was 0.06, which is a reading of news tone and not a signal. There were 0 storms of urgent news and 0 pauses. No specialists reported and no milestones were reached today.
Milestone ·
None of the three specialists, swing, breakout and trend, passed its gate, so the exam was never sat. Entries on 13 and 14 October said the build had reached the exam stage. That was wrong, and their counts of complete exchanges did not agree. The three models are retired and their derived training data cleared. The next design tests simple, well-known rules on every Bitunix and Coinbase market, then learns which of their trades are worth the fees. Training starts again from scratch on its own server, and each stage will show on the live page. The score log keeps every earlier result. Paper trading only until launch.
Milestone ·
The exchange data for ALPHA v0.1.0 is complete. All 7 exchanges now have a complete history. The three specialists, swing 1h, breakout 4h and trend 1d, move to the exam stage. Each must still beat simply holding the market, after fees, to pass the gate.
