Nvidia Corp. is in early discussions about a deal with Reflection AI Inc., the maker of the 501‑billion‑parameter Beam model. The talks could end in a full purchase, a larger stake with extra chips, or an acquihire that would bring the staff onboard while keeping Reflection independent. The Financial Times says an agreement could be reached in a few weeks, but the deal is not guaranteed.

## The facts

- Reflection raised $2 billion in October 2025, led by Nvidia, which has invested $800 million total.
- Beam, Reflection’s first open‑weight model, was trained on Nvidia GB300 systems under a June agreement worth up to $6.3 billion.

## Why it matters

If Nvidia secures Reflection, it could speed up access to large open‑weight models for developers building coding agents.
