Reflection AI signs a major SpaceX compute deal for open-source model training

Reflection AI has signed a large compute agreement with SpaceX for access to Nvidia GB300 infrastructure at the Colossus 2 data center, according to TechCrunch.

The deal shows how open-source AI labs still need closed, capital-intensive infrastructure to compete on frontier-scale training and inference.

It also reinforces a broader market reality: compute contracts are becoming strategic assets, with model ambition increasingly tied to power, chips, and datacenter access.
