Big AI infrastructure story flying under the radar:
Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness has reportedly put
$500M into stealth startup Source Foundry, now valued around
$5B. The bet is aimed at one of AI’s biggest bottlenecks: semiconductor manufacturing and lithography.
The goal? Build faster, cheaper equipment to challenge
$ASML’s dominance.
And this week alone, Situational reportedly invested another
$400M.
If Source Foundry can execute, this could become a major semiconductor story.
