This will be very interesting: Nvidia-backed Reflection is reportedly preparing to release its first open-weight model, aiming to compete with China’s leading open models.

Axios sources expect it to initially trail the most advanced U.S. models. The commercial goal is to let companies build customized AI systems using their own data and compute, with lower costs and greater control.

Reflection has already announced a sovereign AI factory partnership with South Korea’s Shinsegae Group. Axios also reports major deals with Nebius and SpaceX to rent Nvidia servers.

More open models = better for all of us!
