SpaceX signs computing power deal with open-source AI startup Reflection worth up to $6.3 billion
Reflection gets immediate access to Nvidia GB300 chips and will pay SpaceX $150 million a month through 2029, CNBC said.
- On Monday, SpaceX signed a computing agreement with Reflection AI, granting the startup immediate access to Nvidia GB300s for $150 million monthly payments starting July 1, 2026, totaling about $6.3 billion through 2029.
- Elon Musk's Project Colossus supercomputer, established August 22, 2024, in Memphis, Tennessee, serves as the backbone for SpaceX's strategy to sell graphics processing unit capacity, which Musk termed a "gigafactory of compute."
- Last valued at $25 billion, Reflection aims to build American open-source models competing with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, while working with the Department of Energy and Pentagon on national security efforts.
- Either party can terminate the agreement with 90 days' notice after three months, providing flexibility amid scarcity of advanced Nvidia chips that constrains companies training frontier models.
- This deal expands SpaceX's data-center revenue following its IPO, adding to existing computing partnerships with Anthropic, Google, and Cursor as the company positions itself as a critical AI infrastructure provider.
