[NVIDIA Reportedly in Talks to Acquire U.S. AI Startup Reflection AI] According to a report by Jinse Finance on October 11, citing the Financial Times, sources familiar with the matter revealed that NVIDIA (NVDA.O) is in negotiations to either acquire U.S. startup Reflection AI or increase its investment in the company. Reflection AI is a developer of open-weight models. The talks are still in the early stages, and the deal could take various forms, including a so-called 'acqui-hire,' where NVIDIA would hire Reflection's employees and obtain licensing for its technology, thereby avoiding the lengthy regulatory scrutiny typically associated with a full acquisition. NVIDIA is already one of Reflection's largest shareholders and may also choose to deepen their relationship through further equity investment or by reaching an agreement to provide the company with more chips and computing power. Sources indicated that the two companies could reach an agreement in the coming weeks. Reflection was valued at $25 billion during a funding round in March of this year.
