How a Trading Firm Ships New AI Models the Same Day - Noyan Tokgozoglu, Optiver
Optiver ships AI model updates same-day and measures P&L impact within hours
“we are releasing these changes to our traders and quants, and we are seeing the impact on profits and losses within hours”
Optiver's AI lead describes how the firm's market-making context — 10M+ daily trades, daily P&L reset — forces same-day AI model deployment and ultra-fast feedback loops that traditional tech companies lack. Unlike consumer software where impact is measured in months, model changes at Optiver are validated within a single trading day. This is a concrete case study in high-stakes, high-velocity AI deployment that contrasts sharply with typical enterprise MLOps cadences.
