前OpenAI研究员Leopold Aschenbrenner旗下对冲基金Situational Awareness，因杠杆押注AI供应链股暴跌，资产从450亿美元峰值缩水至约100亿美元，并已将大部分公开股票组合卖给Citadel。
TechCrunch published a piece on his story.
- A hedge fund that returned 439% through June just sold most of its public stock portfolio to Citadel.
- Leopold Aschenbrenner, 25 and formerly of OpenAI, built Situational Awareness in 2024 on one call, that scaling AI would force a build-out of chips, compute, memory, and energy.
- So he bought the suppliers, and SK Hynix, Sandisk, Bloom Energy, and Nebius Group each fell more than 30% in a month once investors stopped waiting for that spending to turn into revenue.
- Borrowed money multiplied every point of the drop, taking assets from a $45B peak down to roughly $10B after Ken Griffin's firm took the holdings.
- Aschenbrenner called the selloff a buying opportunity and asked clients for fresh capital, which never arrived.
- What survived is the private book, led by an Anthropic stake worth $5B in a company last priced at $965B and expected to list as soon as October.
FT: Leopold Aschenbrenner’s (Ex OpenAI researcher) $20B hedge fund, Situational Awareness, is seeking fresh capital after leveraged AI losses. The move follows a steep reversal from June 30, when the fund told investors it was up 439% net for 2026. Its strategy is to invest globally in technology, energy, and other companies affected by AI’s growth. Fresh capital could meet collateral demands, prevent forced selling, or give the fund cash to buy assets after the decline. --- ft .com/content/280336bf-dbed-405f-b38e-5af644a21549在 X 查看被引用的帖子
