## What it does

The README describes Qlib as an AI-oriented quantitative investment platform, from exploring ideas to production, with supervised learning, market-dynamics modeling, and reinforcement learning. It points at RD-Agent for an automated R&D loop. `pyproject.toml` depends on `pandas`, `lightgbm`, `mlflow`, `gym`, and `cvxpy`, among others. This list files Qlib as a substrate for factor and model research agents.
