US-based AI startup Reflection AI has declared the successful closure of a $2 billion funding round. NVIDIA took the lead in this funding effort, contributing $800 million, which has propelled the company's valuation to an impressive $8 billion. Founded merely a year ago, Reflection AI is committed to constructing "state-of-the-art open intelligence that is accessible to everyone."

At present, Reflection AI has put together a top-notch team and created an advanced large-model training platform. Simultaneously, it is raising funds to further enhance the open AI infrastructure. The company firmly believes that technological advancement is rooted in open collaboration. It points out that currently, the most advanced AI capabilities are concentrated in a handful of closed laboratories. Hence, Reflection AI aims to disrupt this status quo by developing open-source, high-performance models.

Over the past year, Reflection AI has successfully attracted a multitude of top-tier talents for its projects. It has built relevant platforms and verified the effectiveness of its system. Looking ahead, the company plans to venture into the realm of "general agent reasoning" and has already gained support for establishing a sustainable business model.

Reflection AI stresses that open intelligence can enhance the transparency of safety research. This, in turn, allows the global research community to actively participate in risk assessment and prevention.
