For four decades, quant finance lived inside three variables. Fama-French market, size, and value. It worked . . . Marketing did the same thing — Nielsen 3C. Logistics did the same thing — Time-Volume-Value. Three industries, three frameworks, one shape. None of them coordinated.

At Future Alpha 2026, Dr. Bryan Kelly of Yale SOM and AQR opened the conference with the argument that this entire convention is ending.

His published research: take the same three factors, expand them into thousands of derived features inside a 10,000-parameter neural network, and out-of-sample performance triples.

Same inputs. No new data. Just more model.

The preference for simple models, in his words, is a learned bias — not an empirically justified rule.

Finance is going first. Your industry is next.

What are you seeing?

Why a 40-year-old rule in Machine Learning is quietly breaking across every industry.
