(Symbol: MPC) was held by 11 of these funds. When hedge fund managers appear to be thinking alike, we find it is a good idea to take a closer look. Before we proceed, it is important to point out that 13F filings do not tell the whole story, because these funds are only required to disclose their long positions with the SEC, but are not required to disclose their short positions. A fund making a bearish bet against a stock by shorting calls, for example, might also be long some amount of stock as they trade around their overall bearish position. This long component could show up in a 13F filing and everyone might assume the fund is bullish, but this tells only part of the story because the bearish/short side of the position is not seen. Having given that caveat, we believe that looking at groups of 13F filings can be revealing, especially when comparing one holding period to another.

What Snowflake’s deal with OpenAI tells us about the enterprise AI race

Cloud data company Snowflake has entered into a $200 million multi-year AI deal with OpenAI on Monday, the latest signal that enterprise AI competition continues to heat up. Under the deal, Snowflake’s 12,600 customers will have access to OpenAI models across all three major cloud providers. Snowflake employees access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise as well. The two companies are also partnering to build new AI agents and other AI products. “By bringing OpenAI models to enterprise data, Snowflake enables organizations to build and deploy AI on top of their most valuable asset using the secure, governed platform they already trust,” Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy said in a press release. “Customers can now harness all their enterprise knowledge in Snowflake together with the world-class intelligence of OpenAI models, enabling them to build AI agents that are powerful, responsible, and trustworthy. Together, we’re setting a new standard for AI innovation, helping businesses transform with confidence, while maintaining strong security and compliance standards.” OpenAI declined to share information on the deal beyond the press release. If this deal feels familiar, it should. Snowflake announced a $200 million enterprise deal with AI research lab Anthropic at the beginning of December. At the time, Ramaswamy was quoted making very similar comments about how the partnership with Anthropic would give its customers access to powerful AI models on top of their existing data. “Our partnership with OpenAI is a multi-year commercial commitment focused on reliability, performance, and real customer usage. At the same time, we remain intentionally model-agnostic. Enterprises need choice, and we do not believe in locking customers into a single provider,” Baris Gultekin, vice president of AI at Snowflake told TechCrunch over email. “OpenAI is an important partner, and it is one of several frontier model providers available on Snowflake today, alongside Anthropic, Google, Meta, and

'Melania' might look like a box office win, but Amazon is still $68 million in the red

"Melania" had an opening weekend box office gross of $7 million. It's the biggest opening for a doc in a decade — but there's more to consider. Amazon MGM Studios paid $40 million to acquire the movie and another $35 million to market it. To the casual Hollywood observer, "Melania," Amazon MGM Studios' documentary on first lady Melania Trump, looks like a hit. But looks can be deceiving. Brett Ratner's all-access glimpse at the first lady in the days leading up to the 2025 inauguration of President Donald Trump took in $7 million at the box office this weekend despite dismal reviews (it currently holds a 10% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes). The $7 million take is the biggest opening for a non-concert, non-fiction movie in a decade.But delving deeper into the numbers, it's clear that "Melania" faces an uphill battle to profitability. Amazon is $75 million in the hole for 'Melania'At first glance, the $7 million opening looks impressive in the context of how other popular docs have fared at the box office.Questlove's 2021 Oscar-winning documentary "Summer of Soul," for example, broke the record for the biggest Sundance buy ever for a doc when it was sold to Searchlight/Hulu for $15 million.
