Nvidia is in early talks to acquire, invest more in, or acquihire open-weight model developer Reflection AI, with a potential agreement possible within weeks. An acquihire would involve Nvidia hiring Reflection's staff and licensing its technology while avoiding lengthy regulatory review, whereas a full acquisition or increased investment stake are also being considered.
