Nvidia in talks to invest further in or acquire Reflection AI

Nvidia is in early-stage discussions to deepen its existing investment in Reflection AI or acquire the open-weight model startup, potentially via an acqui-hire structure. Reflection, founded by former DeepMind researchers and already backed by Nvidia with prior funding of approximately $800 million, develops open models aimed at coding and agentic tasks competitive with Chinese alternatives. The talks, reported by the Financial Times and confirmed across Tier 1 outlets, reflect ongoing efforts to concentrate capital and compute access around US open-model developers amid competition with lower-cost Chinese systems.
