Is Oklo the Next Great AI Story -- Or Just Nuclear Hype?
Oklo has the makings of a great AI story. Can it become a classic?
Overview
Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) has already become an artificial intelligence story. And like all stories, Oklo's is mixed with factual and fictional elements -- the measurable with the speculative -- which can make it challenging to distinguish the genuine opportunity from pure nuclear hoopla. Buzz around the nuclear stock has started to die -- it's fallen 44% in 2026 -- which makes now a good moment to revisit its story and ask: What exactly are investors buying, and is it worth buying today?

Oklo debuted on the market in 2024. But its history stretches back farther than that. Indeed, we could even go as far back as CEO Jacob DeWitte's graduate work at MIT, where he studied reactor protection systems for sodium-cooled fast reactors, the same broad class of nuclear tech that would eventually underpin Oklo's Aurora powerhouse.
