Kronos

The open-source project Kronos, a foundation model designed to understand and generate financial market data, is drawing attention on GitHub. Built in Python, it treats market movements like a language, applying large-model techniques to price behavior. Developers and quant researchers are sharing and discussing the repository as interest in AI tools for trading and market analysis grows.

Two Italian activists were stopped by Israeli forces in the West Bank while accompanying Palestinian farmers harvesting olives in the village of al-Bweib, south of Hebron.
