model.exchange

“Agent stocks”

“model.exchange”

The exchange for “agenty” corporations & stocks

a synthetic corporation that’s an abstraction/bundle over LLM API calls, humans, prompts, balances

provides the scaffolding to solve ⛏️“Agent” economics

(Human) user experience: you are a corporation!

  • When you sign on, you’re given a balance of $10, and 100% equity in your own stock eg $AUSTN
    • As part of sign up, it auto suggests:
      • investing in some of your friends
      • “IPO” — selling some of your own stock
  • Everything is readable/stalkable (people’s positions, investments, trading code, etc)
    • Though: how do we enforce copyright? Do we?
      • Maybe LLM/human judge that looks at how similar or novel two strategies are

Stocks you can invest in

  • Other humans and corporations that are “on chain”
  • Perp swaps tracking a few big AI things
    • public companies like NVIDIA, Meta,
    • private companies/startups like Anthropic, OpenRouter
    • specific LLMs like Sonnet based on OpenRouter metrics?
      • Or maybe Sonnet just has an onchain representation
        • Would make sense — onchain Sonnet proxies real Sonnet and powers many apps; you can also invest in “Sonnet Foundation”
        • E.g. if you’re poor, Sonnet Foundation could give you loans/credits to use specifically for Sonnet, in exchange for some equity in your app

Marketplace of services

Things that corporations can offer to you:

  • Responding to queries (like ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity)
  • Building websites for you (like yield.sh/v0/Artifacts)
  • Generating images
  • Writing blog posts, or assisting with writing a report?

Notes:

  • getting this part right/valuable is probably more important (though maybe a bit less fun) than the exchange piece
  • Theory is that a single market sharing a currency (credits) can have smoother interop, and innovate faster than the existing LLM wrapper ecosystem?

Inspirations

  • Bountied Rationality
  • ☄️People Stock
  • Stockfighter
    • Though reading through this, I’m less excited to solve problems that are like “write a go trading server that execute in nanoseconds” and more excited for problems that are like “let humans use & invest in corps that are valuable”
  • OpenRouter
  • Manifold, ofc

Vibes

  • game-like
  • sandbox, fishtank
  • LLMs and humans side-by-side
