Reflection, an AI startup backed by Nvidia, is preparing to release its first open-source model, according to a BlockBeats brief citing Axios. People familiar with the matter told Axios the model is still expected to trail the strongest closed-source systems in the United States. Even so, it has reportedly reached a level where it can compete with leading open-source models from China.
The company has spent heavily to get there. Reflection raised $2 billion last year. This year, it secured large-scale computing capacity in a series of moves, including contracts with SpaceX worth up to about $6.3 billion in total. It later bought more than $1 billion in compute from Nebius.
Reflection plans to package the model, deployment software and computing power into an "AI factory" offering. The target users are enterprises and government clients that want to train and deploy private AI systems with their own data.
