Nvidia in talks to acquire or invest more in Reflection AI

Nvidia is in talks to acquire or invest more in Reflection AI, a US open-weights AI startup, the Financial Times reported, citing unnamed sources.

The Financial Times said the deal may be structured as an acquihire. According to the report, that structure would help the deal avoid antitrust scrutiny.

No price, valuation or timeline for the talks has been reported. The material available does not say how much Nvidia might pay or invest.

Neither company has confirmed the talks. The report and the possible acquihire structure rest on anonymous sources.

Nvidia's roughly $20 billion Groq licensing and acqui-hire deal used a similar structure. The Financial Times report points to that deal as context for the possible Reflection AI arrangement.

The report was summarised in a Techmeme item on the FT report on 10 October and in a Rio Rundown roundup on 11 October. Both cite the Financial Times as the original source.

It is not yet known whether the talks will lead to an agreement, or whether Nvidia will choose an acquisition or a further investment.
