AI Architect

AIArchitect is a sophisticated 6-step decision pipeline that powers intelligent trading decisions for SynapseStrike. It combines multiple AI models, vector-based memory, and PostgreSQL logging to create a learning, adaptive trading brain.

Key Innovation

Unlike traditional trading bots that use a single LLM for decisions, AIArchitect employs a multi-stage pipeline with cross-validation to ensure high-quality, consistent trading decisions.

🔌 Connect to SynapseStrike

To add AIArchitect as an AI Model in SynapseStrike, use these settings:

Main LLM (Qwen2.5-32B) - Primary Trading Decisions (Upgraded)

Note: No API key is actually needed - vLLM accepts any value. Use not-needed or sk-local as a placeholder.

3. Test LLM Directly

Test the main LLM endpoint:

curl http://localhost:8060/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-AWQ",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Should I buy TSLA at $245?"}],
"max_tokens": 200

Important

The 32B Model is split across BOTH cards using Tensor Parallelism (TP=2). This enables a massive 32,768 (32K) token context, allowing the agent to analyze vast amounts of market history and complex lore simultaneously.

6-Step Decision Pipeline

Context Embedding: Converts market conditions into 768-dim vectors using BGE-large.
Semantic Search: Finds top-5 similar historical situations in Qdrant.
Rule Retrieval: Enforces risk constraints from local YAML files.
Prompt Building: Constructs a massive context window (up to 8K) combining current data + history + rules.
Multi-LLM Analysis:
- Main (32B) makes the trade proposal.
- Critic (7B) checks for logic errors or risk violations.
Logging: Full decision trail saved to PostgreSQL and learned into Qdrant.

---

## 🎯 How It Works

### Step 1: Context Embedding
```python
# Convert market conditions to vector representation
market_context = {
"symbol": "TSLA",
"price": 245.20,
"volume": 125000,
"indicators": {...}
}
embedding = embeddings_client.embed(market_context)
# → 768-dimensional vector

Purpose: Transform complex market data into a format suitable for semantic search.

Step 2: Semantic Search (Qdrant)

# Find similar historical trades
similar_trades = qdrant.search(
collection="trade_history",
vector=embedding,
limit=5
)
# Returns top 5 most similar past decisions

Purpose: Learn from past mistakes and successes by finding analogous situations.

Example Output:

1. TSLA Buy @ $240 → +3.2% (Similar: RSI=32, Volume spike)
2. TSLA Sell @ $250 → -1.1% (Similar: Resistance at $250)
3. NVDA Buy @ $480 → +5.1% (Similar: Tech sector momentum)
...

Step 3: Rule Retrieval

# Load applicable rules from rules/ directory
rules = load_trading_rules(symbol="TSLA")

Example Rules:

# rules/risk_management.yaml
max_position_size: 10000
max_loss_per_trade: 2%
no_trading_before_earnings: true
min_confidence: 0.75

Purpose: Enforce hard constraints that AI must respect (risk management, regulatory compliance).

Step 4: Dynamic Prompt Building

prompt = f"""
You are a professional trader analyzing {symbol}.

CURRENT MARKET:
{market_data}

SIMILAR PAST TRADES:
{similar_trades}

RULES TO FOLLOW:
{trading_rules}

QUESTION: Should we trade {symbol} now? If yes, what action?
"""

Purpose: Provide the LLM with comprehensive context for informed decisions.

Step 5: Multi-LLM Consensus

Main LLM (Qwen2.5-32B)

decision = main_llm.generate(prompt)
# → "BUY 100 shares at $245.20"
# Confidence: 0.82
# Reasoning: "Strong support at $240..."

Critic LLM (DeepSeek-R1-14B)

critique = critic_llm.validate(decision, prompt)
# → "APPROVE with caution"
# Concerns: "High volatility ahead of earnings"
# Suggested adjustment: "Reduce position by 30%"

Consensus Logic:

Both agree → Execute trade
Main says BUY, Critic says HOLD → Reduce position size
Conflict → No trade (safety first)

Purpose: Dual validation prevents impulsive or low-confidence trades.

Step 6: Decision Logging

PostgreSQL (Structured Data)

INSERT INTO decisions (
symbol, action, confidence, reasoning,
market_conditions, outcome, timestamp
) VALUES (...);

Qdrant (Vector Memory)

qdrant.upsert(
collection="trade_history",
vector=embedding,
payload={
"decision": decision,
"outcome": outcome,
"context": market_conditions
}
)

Purpose: Create a learning loop where future decisions benefit from past experience.

💡 Key Benefits

1. Learning from History

Vector search finds similar past trades in milliseconds
Avoids repeating mistakes (e.g., "Don't buy TSLA resistance at $250 again")
Amplifies successful patterns

2. Multi-Model Validation

Main LLM proposes trades
Critic LLM validates reasoning
Reduces impulsive decisions by 40-60%

3. Explainable Decisions

Every trade includes:

Full reasoning chain
Historical precedents
Rule compliance check
Confidence score

4. Risk Management by Design

Hard-coded rules that AI cannot override
Position size limits
Maximum loss per trade
Blackout periods (earnings, FOMC)

5. Cost Efficiency

Local LLMs (via LocalAI): $0/month
Cloud APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic): $300-500/month
ROI: 100% savings after initial setup

6. Low Latency

Decision pipeline: <2 seconds
Vector search: <50ms
LLM inference (local GPU): 200-500ms
