Reflection, an AI startup supported by Nvidia, is negotiating a $2.5 billion funding round at a $25 billion valuation, according to The Wall Street Journal. If successful, this would be one of the largest financings in the open-source AI sector. Founded in 2024 by ex-Google DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou, Reflection aims to develop AI systems for automated code writing and maintenance, positioning itself as a U.S. alternative to Chinese firms like DeepSeek. Nvidia has previously invested $800 million in Reflection, valuing it at $8 billion. The current funding discussions involve JPMorgan Chase, which may participate through its Security and Resilience initiative, alongside existing investor Disruptive.
