Reflection AI will pay SpaceXAI $150 million per month starting July 1, 2026, for access to Nvidia GB300 chips at the Colossus 2 data center. The contract runs through 2029 and totals up to $6.3 billion.
servethehome.comReflection AI signed a contract with SpaceXAI for access to Nvidia GB300 AI chips at the Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, Tennessee. The open-source startup will pay $150 million per month beginning July 1, 2026, through 2029. The agreement is valued at up to $6.3 billion.
Either party may terminate the contract with 90 days’ notice after the first three months. The deal is smaller than SpaceXAI’s existing contracts with Anthropic and Google, which cost those companies $1.25 billion and $920 million per month, respectively, and also run through July 2029. Reflection AI was founded in 2024 by former Google DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou.
