How Heatmup Uses AI

Hundreds of models, six standpoints, one probability heatmap per forecast.

Heatmup uses AI the way a trading desk uses analysts: lots of them, each with a specialty, arguing with each other until a picture emerges. We run hundreds of models per forecast. Some are large language models that read text. Some are quantitative finance models built for time series. Others are specialized classifiers, regression models, and probabilistic samplers. No single model produces the heatmap you see.

The language models do the reading. They parse earnings calls, filings, news wires, regulatory documents, and social chatter. They pull out what actually matters for an asset and drop the noise. Text alone doesn't forecast a price, so their output feeds into the quantitative stack rather than driving it.

Finance models handle the numerical side. Options pricing models read the volatility surface. Time-series models fit historical returns and regime shifts. On-chain models track wallet flows for crypto assets. Macro models watch rates, yields, and cross-asset correlations. Each one speaks the native language of its data type.

Six analytical standpoints organize the output: Everything, News, Options, Insider, Prediction Market, and Risk. You can read an asset through any single lens, or through the combined view. The standpoints exist because one perspective always misses something the others catch.

A forecast is a probability distribution, not a price target. Each model contributes a piece of that distribution. The stack combines them with weights tuned against historical calibration, meaning we care whether the 70% zones actually hit 70% of the time. Point predictions are easy to fake. Distributions are harder to bluff.

Heatmup archives every forecast with a timestamp. The models that called it right stay on the record. So do the ones that missed. That's how we know which combinations of AI actually work for which assets, and it's how you can check our work without taking anything on faith.

The stack runs across 18 assets at launch, from the S&P 500 and Bitcoin to Nvidia, Tesla, Gold, and OMXH25. Same infrastructure, different data diets.
