+# Predix v2.0.0 Release Notes
+

+
+**Tag:** v2.0.0-2026.04.10
+
+---
+
+## 🎉 Overview
+
+Major update adding AI-powered strategy generation, realistic backtesting, and comprehensive CLI tooling. Predix now autonomously generates, evaluates, and optimizes trading strategies using local LLMs.
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Added
+
+### LLM-Powered Strategy Generation
+- **StrategyOrchestrator**: Generate trading strategies by combining factors with LLM
+- **Local llama.cpp Support**: Run strategy generation locally (Qwen3.5-35B)
+- **OpenRouter Support**: Optional cloud model fallback
+- **Improved Prompts (v3)**: IC-sign-aware factor combination instructions
+- **Diverse Factor Selection**: Automatic selection by type (momentum, divergence, volatility, session)
+
+### Realistic Backtesting
+- **OHLCV-Based Returns**: Real price returns instead of factor proxies
+- **Spread Costs**: 1.5 bps per trade deducted from returns
+- **Forward-Fill Support**: Daily factors → 1-min frequency
+- **Proper Annualization**: sqrt(252*1440) for 1-min data
+

+
+---
+
+## 📊 Performance
