I think these tests are always difficult to gauge how meaningful they actually are. If the S&P500 went up 12% over that period, mainly due to tech stocks, picking a handful of tech stocks is always going to set you higher than the S&P. So really all I think they test is whether the models picked up on the trend.
I more surprised that Gemini managed to lose 10%. I wish they actually mentioned what the models invested in and why.
Wait — isn't that exactly what good investors do? They look for what stocks are going to beat expectations and invest in them. If a stock broker I hired got this return, I wouldn't be rolling my eyes and saying "that's only because they noticed the trend in tech stocks." That's exactly what I'm paying them to do.
Or even truncating the features to their limit and alerting through logs that there is likely performance degradation in their Bot Management.
I'm really confused how so many people are finding it acceptable to bring down your entire reverse-proxy because the length of feature sets for the ML model in one of your components was longer than expected.
