Nvidia is in early-stage discussions about acquiring Reflection AI or making further investments in the US startup, the Financial Times reports. Reflection AI develops “open-weight” artificial intelligence models.

Outlet coverage also links the discussions to broader market and policy context. The Financial Times says the Trump administration hopes Nvidia can help counter low-cost Chinese alternatives such as DeepSeek. Other reports focus more narrowly on the deal structure—either a buyout or an additional funding round—without detailing specific terms.

While all accounts rely on the Financial Times’ reporting, they differ mainly in emphasis: some highlight the corporate negotiation framework (acquire versus invest), while others add context about competitive pressures in the AI model market and possible policy expectations. No final agreement or deal value is reported in the available summaries.
