I’m Mustafa “Vic” Uzumeri, the sole proprietor of Deeperpoint Inc., a Canadian corporation dedicated to exploring innovative applications of artificial intelligence in networking and market making. Through Deeperpoint, I personally manage and fund the development of two exploratory projects: Cosolvent and GrainPlaza.

My work focuses on the fascinating challenge of making “thin” markets work better.  The term “thin” comes from Nobel laureate Alvin Roth. In “thin markets”,  buyers and sellers struggle to find each other despite mutual benefit. These markets resist traditional automation because transactions are too unique and complex for conventional databases, yet too small to justify expensive human brokers.

I suspect that modern AI … specifically Large Language Models combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (LLM+RAG) and selective fine-tuning … can automate the nuanced matching that human experts traditionally provide. This technology can “thicken” thin markets by making them more efficient and accessible.

Cosolvent serves as the open-source foundation for this experiment, while GrainPlaza demonstrates its real-world application in specialty grain trading. I’ve made Cosolvent freely available because I’m convinced these tools can transform inefficient market systems, particularly in marginal applications and developing countries where improved market access could create significant economic opportunities for underserved communities.
