Leopold Aschenbrenner, a prominent AI investor, has reportedly sold all of his hedge fund's public stock holdings due to significant losses. The fund, Situational Awareness, faced steep declines in AI infrastructure bets and short positions against software stocks. Aschenbrenner, once hailed as a prodigy, built the fund in 2024 on the premise that AI would drive demand for chips, compute, and energy, leading him to invest in suppliers like SK Hynix and Sandisk. However, these investments fell sharply, and the fund's assets dropped from a peak of $45 billion to around $10 billion, forcing Aschenbrenner to sell most of the portfolio to Citadel.
