Because he doesn't know, like so many people on HN, that you can just build smaller models and let them be steered by a bigger model. Everyone thinks you need a trillion parameter model or the model is worthless.
It's the same problem with semiconductor manufacturing, where only the bleeding edge counts when in reality you need a whole spectrum of fabs.

High frequency trading has been a reality for decades. What’s different now?
HFT strategies are simple. They are also static (they can re-fit, but fundamentally remain the same).
Putting LLMs in the loop now gives you reactive strategies. The agents can see the reaction of the market and adjust or change direction.
This creates complex feedback loops that can't be understood at human speed.
What makes you say this?
