How do you use LLMs for your research?

Question

I'm doing several researches such as trading, ML which are domains that I'm not really familiar for. however, I think problems I want to solve is relatively clear. In these cases, how do you guys use LLMs for them to find kinda "optimal" solution ?

I wouldn&rsquo;t use an LLM as a one-off chat. I&rsquo;d turn the research into a long-running Codex or Claude Code project, keeping the facts, findings, decisions, and actual outcomes as project documents. There usually isn&rsquo;t an &ldquo;optimal&rdquo; answer from day one. But as the project builds a history of what you believed versus what actually happened, the LLM can learn from it, refine its judgment, and gradually get closer to the optimal solution.
