Nvidia is in talks to deepen its investment in open-source startup Reflection AI or acquire it, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.
\n\nTalks are at an early stage and a deal could take several forms, including a so-called acqui-hire arrangement where Nvidia would hire staff and license technology rather than pursue a full acquisition, potentially avoiding a lengthy regulatory review, the newspaper said.

\n\nAn agreement could be reached in the coming weeks, according to the report, which cited multiple people familiar with the matter, while adding that the discussions could still fall apart.
\n\nReuters could not immediately verify the report. Nvidia and Reflection did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside of regular business hours.
\n\nNvidia is already a major financial backer and strategic investor in Reflection AI, having invested $800 million in the startup, the FT reported.
\n\nFounded in 2024 by former DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou, Reflection develops tools that automate software development, a fast-growing use case for AI.
