# Reflection inks $1B compute deal with Nebius

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Reflection AI, an open-weight model startup valued at $8 billion, has signed a $1 billion compute deal with Nebius, the European AI infrastructure company formerly known as Yandex's international arm. The deal gives Reflection access to Nvidia's latest chips and follows a similar compute agreement with SpaceX signed weeks earlier. Reflection has raised $2.6 billion from backers including Nvidia, Sequoia, and Lightspeed. The news comes amid growing interest in open-source AI models, fueled by government pressure on closed-source labs like Anthropic and OpenAI, and the rise of capable Chinese open models. Nebius itself has recently secured major infrastructure deals with Meta (up to $27B) and Microsoft (up to $19.4B).
