Daily Stock Analysis is an open-source system that uses LLMs to generate comprehensive stock decision dashboards and deliver them to your messaging app of choice — automatically, every day at 6 PM Beijing time, with zero server infrastructure required. The entire system runs on GitHub Actions, triggered by a cron job from your own fork. Each daily run aggregates technical analysis, real-time price data, chip distribution, news sentiment, capital flow tracking, and fundamental data across A-shares, Hong Kong, and US markets. The output is a "decision dashboard" — a structured report with conclusions, risk alerts, buy/sell levels, and an action checklist — pushed via webhook to WeChat Work, Feishu, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or email. The project supports a wide range of LLM backends (DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemini, Claude, OpenAI-compatible APIs, local Ollama) and data sources (Tushare, AkShare, TickFlow). With 32,000+ GitHub stars and climbing, it's clearly scratching an itch for retail investors who want institutional-grade analysis without paying for Bloomberg.

Kronos is the first openly available foundation model purpose-built for financial K-line (OHLCV candlestick) data, trained across over 45 global exchanges. Unlike general time-series models adapted for finance, Kronos uses a domain-specific tokenizer that quantizes continuous OHLCV data into hierarchical discrete tokens before autoregressive Transformer pre-training — addressing the high-noise, regime-switching characteristics that make financial series uniquely hard to model. The paper was accepted to AAAI 2026. The project ships model variants from 4.1M parameters (mini) to 499.2M parameters (large), with context windows from 512 to 2048 tokens. All variants are available via Hugging Face Hub, and the inference API is clean: load a pretrained model, pass historical K-line data, get price forecasts. The framework handles normalization, tokenization, and denormalization automatically. Benchmark results show an 87% improvement in price prediction RankIC over baselines on the AAAI evaluation suite. With 21K stars and MIT licensing, Kronos is attracting quant researchers who want a universal pre-trained backbone for diverse financial forecasting tasks — replacing dozens of task-specific models with a single foundation that can be fine-tuned per exchange, asset class, or time horizon.
Reviewer scorecard
“Using GitHub Actions as a cron-based LLM pipeline is genuinely clever — no server, no containers, no maintenance. Fork, add secrets, enable Actions, done. The multi-LLM backend support means you can run the whole thing on DeepSeek for almost nothing.”
“The domain-specific tokenizer for OHLCV data is the key insight — it's not just a time-series transformer, it actually understands the structure of candlestick patterns. The Hugging Face Hub distribution and clean predictor API make it a practical drop-in for quant research pipelines.”
“LLMs hallucinate stock data. Without rigorous validation against ground truth prices and alerts, 'AI-generated buy/sell levels' are at best noise and at worst a way to lose money with extra steps. Use this for learning, not trading.”
“An 87% improvement in RankIC sounds impressive but lab benchmarks rarely survive contact with live markets — transaction costs, slippage, and regime changes eat theoretical edge fast. Foundation models trained on 45 exchanges also risk overfitting to historical market microstructure that no longer exists.”
“Democratizing systematic multi-market analysis that previously required either a quant team or a Bloomberg terminal is a big deal. The GitHub Actions architecture is a template for a whole class of personal AI automation.”
“The real value isn't the price predictions themselves — it's the pre-trained market representation. A financial foundation model that encodes 45 exchanges gives quant teams a massive head-start for fine-tuning on niche assets or novel market regimes. This is what Abundance-style AI hedge funds will build on.”
“The notification to Telegram or Feishu is a nice touch — your daily market brief lands in the same app as your messages. It's the kind of ambient intelligence that makes you feel like you have a well-informed analyst on call.”
“Unless you're building financial data tools or trading dashboards, this is highly specialized infrastructure. For the small slice of creators working on fintech products or market visualization tools, the Hugging Face-hosted models are a useful starting point with minimal setup.”
