Situational Awareness, a hedge fund founded by former OpenAI board member Leopold Aschenbrenner, has reportedly exited its entire portfolio of public stocks, according to CNBC's David Faber.
Analysts suggest that the recent AI sell-off was reversed by a combination of Microsoft's Azure performance and OpenAI's ARR news. Microsoft demonstrated sound economics for its AI CapEx, while OpenAI showed that the frontier model business continues to grow rapidly.
