What they're building
One of the newer labs to watch most closely. Founded by two of the researchers behind AlphaGo and Gemini, Reflection is positioning itself as America's open-weight answer to DeepSeek, training frontier models it will release openly while selling enterprise and government deployments. TrueUp ranks it #2 by AI-company trajectory, behind SSI.
Latest developments
- Ranked #2 by AI-company trajectory on TrueUp (October 2026).
- Raised $2B at an $8B valuation led by Nvidia (October 2025).
- Asimov, its autonomous coding agent, is in use with early enterprise customers.
Why it matters
If open Western frontier models matter for national competitiveness, Reflection is the company built for exactly that role.
