About

I'm vihan13singh, Founder & CEO at Raeth AI. I've spent over 8 years building Blackrose, creating 'machines that make money,' and now I'm focused on helping AI labs do the same. My background in mathematics, computer science, and biophysics research gives me a unique perspective at the intersection of quantitative finance, AI, and entrepreneurship. I'm passionate about building intelligent machines that build intelligent machines—I believe that's the only work truly worth doing today. I love discussing practical approaches to quant trading, AI-assisted development, and the realities of frontier models beyond benchmarks. I'm always happy to share advice on breaking into quantitative finance or building profitable systems.

Opinions

  • Current frontier AI models are good tools for accelerating quant workflows but 'really suck' at doing the core quant work itself
  • Sees a significant 'benchmark to reality gap' for open-source models
  • Advocates for a hands-on, production-focused approach to learning quantitative finance over textbooks or courses
  • Expresses a strong, singular focus: 'the only thing worth working on today is building intelligent machines that build intelligent machines. All else is noise'
  • Believes 'vibe coding' is a distinct and valuable skill all software engineers should learn
