Nvidia in Early Talks to Acquire or Invest Further in Reflection AI
The discussions, first reported by the Financial Times, could also involve hiring Reflection AI's core research staff or licensing its technology.
Nvidia is in early negotiations with the AI startup Reflection AI over a possible acquisition or an additional investment, according to the Financial Times. The talks are described as preliminary and no agreement has been announced.
Reflection AI is already a major portfolio company for Nvidia, which has invested 800 million dollars in the startup. The discussions reportedly include alternatives to a full acquisition, such as hiring core research staff or licensing technology.
On the 5th, Reflection AI released its first open-weight AI model, Beam, a move that put the startup's own model development on public display.
Reflection AI was founded in 2024 by two former Google DeepMind researchers. Nvidia has not commented publicly on the status of the negotiations, and the Financial Times reported that terms remain under discussion.
Open-source push
In July, Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang stressed the need to build an open-source AI ecosystem in the United States. The reported talks with Reflection AI come as Nvidia continues to expand its reach across the AI software and model layer, alongside rivals such as DeepSeek.
