TradingVLA AI Labs

Shaping Tomorrow with Intelligent Innovation

Led by Dr. Yang Li, CEO & Researcher | Ph.D. in Financial Engineering

Pioneering research and education in generative models, algorithmic trading, and machine learning for quantitative finance. Developing flow matching policies (FlowHFT, FlowOE), LLM-based trading agents (FinMem, TradingGPT), and innovative frameworks combining imitation learning with reinforcement learning (FinFlowRL). We develop novel AI solutions for high-frequency trading, market-making, and orderbook modeling (ByteGen), advancing the frontier of intelligent trading systems. Through comprehensive educational programs, courses, and practice problems, we empower the next generation of AI trading professionals.
