Reflection AI Signs $6.3 Billion Compute Deal With SpaceX For Access To Nvidia GB300 Chips
Summary
Reflection AI, a young open-source startup founded by former Google DeepMind researchers, signs a massive $6.3 billion compute deal with SpaceX, securing access to cutting-edge Nvidia GB300 chips at $150 million per month starting July 2026.
Key Points
- Reflection AI, an open source startup founded in 2024 by two former Google DeepMind researchers, signs a compute deal with SpaceX worth up to $6.3 billion, paying $150 million per month starting July 1, 2026 through 2029.
- The deal grants Reflection AI immediate access to Nvidia GB300 AI chips at SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, Tennessee, though either party can exit the contract with 90 days' notice after the first three months.
- The agreement is smaller than SpaceX's deals with Anthropic and Google, which cost $1.25 billion and $920 million per month respectively, and comes as open-weight AI models gain traction following a U.S. government ban on Anthropic's closed models.
