  "account": "SkySail Strategies, a quantitative investment firm, has achieved remarkable success by outperforming Wall Street's 30-year risk standard using its proprietary AI inference model, the Rubix VM. The Rubix VM model has demonstrated up to 40% less error in predicting market risk compared to the industry-standard models that have been relied upon since 1993.\n\nThe Rubix VM model is built around the Rubix RPT, a custom AI inference model developed by SkySail for the sole purpose of predicting how far a market can move in the coming hours. This model outperforms models that earned the 2003 Nobel Prize in Economics and have been the foundation of institutional risk management since 1993. Brian Devens, Managing Director of SkySail Strategies, explained that the industry had relied on the same risk measurement method since 1993 because no one could reliably improve upon it.\n\nDevens emphasized that beating this model was never easy, which is why the development of Rubix VM was worth the effort. He further explained that managing risk is what SkySail does best, and Rubix is the sharpest edge in their arsenal. The firm's proprietary trading firms, options desks, and systematic funds depend on the expected market range to size positions and place stops. A more accurate prediction of market movements allows for better capital allocation, resulting in stronger risk-adjusted returns.\n\nFor family offices, funds, and institutional risk teams, Rubix VM offers a risk number that maintains its accuracy even as market conditions change, whereas conventional models often fail. SkySail has already noticed allocator interest as they expand the system into new markets, signaling a promising future for this groundbreaking technology.",
