Lab Notes: Week 8, 2026
Lab Notes: Week of February 21-22, 2026 Research Overview This week we conducted a focused investigation into latency value across four critical domains: market microstructure, information theory, MEV extraction, and distributed AI infrastructure. Our core question was how latency and reliability tradeoffs shape the design space for high-speed systems. What we discovered was more nuanced than expected: latency advantage isn’t valuable everywhere, but in specific regimes where the system architecture provides natural error resilience, speed advantages can be transformative. ...
