Jane Street Goes Public To Serve As AI Infrastructure For Frontier Models

So Jane Street is going public because obviously they see the future where the model labs compete directly with them in the market. The strategic decision is therefore to become a a specialized infrastructure harness for a future frontier model. Tellingly they point out that the latency constraints mean there is no time for inference at the GPU layer, or agentic tool use at the CPU layer, only reflexive heuristics at the FPGA layer. @yminsky is trying to fend off future model lab competition by making Jane Street indispensable to a future AGI. interesting strategy
