Key facts

Open-weight model release being prepared (reported, Oct 2026)

Reported (reported): Axios (Oct 4 2026, citing sources) says Nvidia-backed Reflection is preparing to release its first open-weight model soon, expected initially to lag the most advanced U.S. models but to be competitive with top Chinese open-weight models; other Western open-weight releases are expected the same month. Reflection's stated goal is an "AI factory" product that lets institutions combine Reflection models with their own data and compute. A Reflection spokesperson declined to comment. Cap: anonymous-source scoop; no model name, size, benchmarks, or release date confirmed.

SpaceX Colossus 2 GB300 compute: $150M/month, up to ~$6.3B (reported, Jun 2026)

Reported (reported; also TechCrunch): Reflection agreed to pay SpaceX $150 million per month from Jul 1 2026 through 2029 for immediate access to Nvidia GB300s at SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, about $6.3B if it runs the full term; either side can end it with 90 days' notice after the first three months (CNBC citing materials viewed; TechCrunch citing the company). Reflection called it its first compute deal. Cap: contract terms via press; no filed contract in this ingest.

Nebius compute contract over $1B (reported, Jul 2026)

Reported (reported; also DCD): Reflection disclosed on Jul 14 2026 a Nebius cloud-capacity contract valued at more than $1 billion for Nvidia GPUs, per Reuters; CTO and co-founder Ioannis Antonoglou said the capacity lets Reflection keep building and training frontier models at scale. DCD says contract duration and GPU count were not provided. Cap: secondary reporting of a company disclosure.

Shinsegae ~250 MW South Korea data-center project (reported)

Reported (reported; also Axios): DCD (Jul 15 2026) says Reflection is working with Shinsegae Group on a 250 MW data-center project in South Korea; Axios describes it as a sovereign AI factory partnership. Cap: secondary; no site, timeline, or capex confirmed here.

Founders, backing, and valuation context (reported)

Reported (reported; also TechCrunch; CNBC): founded in 2024 by former Google DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin (CEO) and Ioannis Antonoglou (CTO). Nvidia-backed; DCD says it raised $2B in October 2025 (a raise amount, not a valuation), and CNBC (Jun 2026) describes it as last valued at $25 billion. Cap: press figures, not company filings.
