The bundle contains 28 individual backtest runs across four paper-cited experiments spanning US and CN A-share equities, plus comparison aggregates, universe definitions, and provenance documentation.",

Single-seed case-study runs (with one paired re-run for the US window) imply LLM-sampling stochasticity is bounded but not fully characterized; see the Reproducibility table in the paper.",
  "rai:dataLimitations": "Trading frictions (transaction costs, market impact, short-selling, borrowing constraints) are not modeled in the primary runs; the paper reports a deterministic post-hoc transaction-cost sensitivity sweep over the released trade logs. The 6M live-market window is much shorter than typical institutional evaluation horizons. The GPT-5.4 backend identifier reflects the API gateway label exposed at run time and not a vendor build hash; exact backend reproducibility depends on the gateway's routing decisions at run time. The bundle redistributes only the derived decision-level data, not the raw third-party feeds.",

Deploying such agents to real markets without additional safeguards (frictions, risk controls, auditing) carries substantial risk, including financial loss and potential amplification of herd behavior.
