Nvidia in Talks to Acquire Reflection AI

Negotiations are in the early stages, and the deal could take several forms, including a so-called “acqui-hire” agreement whereby Nvidia hires staff and obtains a technology license, rather than undertaking a full takeover, which would likely allow avoid a lengthy regulatory review, the publication notes.

According to the report, which cites several people familiar with the case, the deal could be concluded in the coming weeks, although it is also noted that negotiations may still break down.

According to the FT, Nvidia is already the main financial sponsor and strategic investor of Reflection AI, having invested $800 million in this startup.

Reflection CEO Laskin told CNBC in April that the Nvidia-backed startup was raising an estimated $25 billion in new capital.

On Monday, the company unveiled its first open weight model — Beam — seeking to compete in coding and agency tasks with cheaper Chinese models like DeepSeek and Kimi.
