Reflection AI faces mounting pressure to release its promised open-source artificial intelligence model. Former Google DeepMind researchers founded the startup in 2024. The company has raised over $2 billion to date.
Nvidia provided a significant $800 million portion of that total investment. Reflection is currently seeking additional funding at a valuation between $20 billion and $25 billion. The startup has yet to release its flagship model to the public.
This delay fuels industry perceptions that the firm is trailing its competitors. Reflection has secured major deals for the computing power required to train its models. Its primary coding agent currently remains restricted to a waitlist. The company plans to launch its open-source model later this year to validate its strategy.
