Dreambase is an AI-native analytics layer built specifically for teams running Supabase. Instead of setting up ETL pipelines, warehouses, or separate BI tools, you define reusable "Skills" — bundles of data sources (Supabase tables, Stripe, PostHog, external APIs, MCPs), business logic, and visualization rules. AI agents then use these Skills to generate accurate dashboards and reports on demand, understanding your data model without re-explaining it every session. Setup is frictionless: Dreambase automatically scans your database schema during onboarding and prepopulates Skills based on what it finds. Real-time updates flow directly from your Supabase connection without data replication. Row-Level Security policies are respected, keeping multi-tenant apps safe. Skills can be defined via CLI, API, or MCP, and other agents can call them — making Dreambase composable within larger agentic workflows. The product targets teams who want fast analytics without a dedicated data engineer. If you're a small startup on Supabase that needs dashboards but can't justify Snowflake + dbt + Metabase, this is the most direct path from "Postgres tables" to "agents that understand my business."

Kronos is the first open-source foundation model purpose-built for financial candlestick (K-line / OHLCV) data, accepted at AAAI 2026. Instead of treating price series like text or images, Kronos uses a custom two-stage architecture: a specialized tokenizer that converts continuous OHLCV data into discrete tokens, followed by an autoregressive Transformer trained on data from 45+ global exchanges. Four model sizes range from 4.1M to 499M parameters, all released under MIT license. The model learns the statistical structure of market microstructure directly from raw candlestick sequences, enabling zero-shot and few-shot forecasting across asset classes — equities, crypto, and commodities. It ships with a live BTC/USDT prediction demo, Qlib integration for A-Share markets, and a backtesting framework so researchers can evaluate strategies end-to-end. With 13.6k GitHub stars in a niche domain, the community reception has been unusually strong. Kronos matters because most "AI for trading" projects glue LLMs to news sentiment or financial reports — pattern-matching on text rather than market structure. Kronos is the rare project that treats price action itself as the primary modality, giving quants and ML researchers a base model they can fine-tune on proprietary data rather than starting from scratch on every new dataset.
Reviewer scorecard
“The MCP integration is smart — this plays well with Claude and other agentic tools that already know the MCP protocol. Auto-discovering your schema and creating Skills is the right default UX for a tool like this.”
“Finally a foundation model that speaks OHLCV natively instead of forcing price data through text embeddings. The Qlib integration and Hugging Face weights mean you can fine-tune on your own tick data in an afternoon. MIT license and four model sizes give you real options.”
“This solves a real problem but only if you're all-in on Supabase. If you have data in multiple places, the 'no ETL needed' pitch breaks down fast. Also, 'agents that always understand your business' is a big claim for an early-stage product.”
“The disclaimer that this is 'not a production trading system' is doing a lot of work. Financial time series are notoriously non-stationary, and a model pre-trained on historical patterns from 45 exchanges may carry regime-specific biases that hurt live trading. Benchmark numbers on held-out historical data say nothing about alpha in live markets.”
“Bundling business context alongside data access is the right abstraction for the agentic era. Skills as reusable primitives that multiple agents can share is the architecture that survives as tooling matures.”
“This is the ImageNet moment for market microstructure modeling. Once researchers have a shared pre-trained foundation to build on, progress will compound rapidly — we'll see specialized variants for volatility forecasting, options pricing, and market-making within months. AAAI acceptance gives it the academic credibility to attract serious contributors.”
“As someone who regularly needs quick data visualizations without writing SQL, auto-generated dashboards from a natural-language query sounds incredibly useful. Less time fighting with chart config, more time actually analyzing.”
“If you're not deep in quantitative finance, the barrier to actually using Kronos is steep — you need to understand OHLCV data, Qlib configuration, and backtesting pipelines before you see any value. The live BTC demo is cool to watch but hard to translate into a personal use case.”
