Reflection AI is Building Frontier Open Intelligence Accessible to All

Reflection AI, an AI Research lab building superintelligence accessible to everyone, led by Misha Laskin and Ioannis Alexandros Antonoglou, has secured $2 billion in funding from NVIDIA, Disruptive, DST, 1789, B Capital, Lightspeed, Eric Yuan, Eric Schmidt, Citi, Sequoia, CRV, and others.

Technological and scientific progress thrives on openness and collaboration. The internet, Linux, and modern computing standards are all open, driving global innovation. Open science and shared research have fueled AI’s breakthroughs, from self-attention to reinforcement learning.

Now, as AI becomes the core layer powering science, education, energy, and medicine, its development is increasingly concentrated in closed labs. If left unchecked, a few players will control the capital, compute, and talent, shaping the future. To keep AI’s foundation open and accessible, we must build open models so capable that they become the natural choice for developers and users worldwide.

Reflection AI is building open, frontier-scale intelligence. Formed by pioneers behind PaLM, Gemini, AlphaGo, and ChatGPT, the company has developed a large-scale LLM and reinforcement learning platform capable of training massive Mixture-of-Experts models once reserved for top labs. With strong funding and a sustainable model, Reflection AI is scaling open systems that merge large-scale pretraining with advanced reinforcement learning to push the boundaries of agentic reasoning.

Open intelligence redefines the approach to AI safety by inviting the global research community into the conversation. Transparency enables independent evaluation, risk identification, and accountability, capabilities that closed systems cannot match. At the same time, openness demands responsibility. Reflection AI is advancing evaluations, security research, and deployment standards to ensure capable models are released safely. True AI safety comes not from secrecy, but from open, rigorous science shaped by many, not decided by a few.
