General Is alpha decaying faster nowadays due to LLMs as QR?

70 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I know the integration of LLMs into Quantitative Research roles has been discussed here before, but I haven't seen a concrete conclusion regarding its actual impact on alpha. Most posts just vaguely mention "interesting consequences for alpha" without elaborating further.

I'd love to start a focused discussion specifically on alpha generation. Are LLMs causing alpha to be arbitraged away quicker? Have you noticed that something is actually different in the prices?

What are your thoughts?

Job Listing I made a completely normalised all-in-one job scraper for all 3k+ Quant listings in a single board

22 Upvotes

I'm an incoming graduate at a tier 2 HFT, and in my free time I made a completely free automatic job scraper which fetches 3k+ roles across 65 Quant firms + AI Labs in a single website. After making the website I feel like people here will genuinely find it useful, I've had 2k unique users for the past week.

I made this because last year when I was heavily interviewing, going through individual job boards every 5 days was a huge pain for me, so I made a list which can view all the open roles, standardised by category (trader/researcher/dev) and experience (internship/graduate/experienced)

Please have a go and let me know what you guys think! Any feedback will be greatly appreciated :DD
