ME AI news: According to insiders, Situational Awareness, a $24 billion hedge fund founded and managed by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, is unwinding multiple positions and scrambling to raise capital following sharp declines in AI-related stocks and losses on short positions in software stocks. Insiders say Situational Awareness has suffered significant losses in recent weeks: its investments in AI infrastructure, such as SK Hynix, have declined in value, while its short positions against software companies like Adobe have incurred substantial losses. It remains unclear whether the fund is meeting margin calls through negotiated asset sales or has begun a broader liquidation of its portfolio. Insiders also say the fund is attempting to raise liquidity by selling equity in private companies, including its stake in Anthropic. The exact scale of the proposed Anthropic share sale is unknown, but individuals familiar with the process indicate that potential buyers have expressed interest in acquiring some or all of the shares.
