The power couple of AI is getting married in Carmel, days after groom Leopold Aschenbrenner’s hedge fund nearly blew up
- Leopold Aschenbrenner is marrying Avital Balwit (Anthropic’s chief of staff) in Carmel this weekend — the celebration includes panels, a Tuscan‑style villa ceremony and a forest‑spa honeymoon send‑off.
- In dramatic timing, the groom spent the week scrambling to save his hedge fund after a sudden semiconductor sell‑off and margin calls, ultimately surviving but much smaller.
- The guest list reads like an AI who’s‑who — investors, Anthropic/OpenAI researchers and tech founders — a very small, very connected world.
