AI startup Reflection AI announced Monday it has reached an agreement with SpaceX for access to expanded computing resources at the Elon Musk-led company’s Colossus 2 data center.
According to a CNBC report citing materials it reviewed, the open-source AI startup will receive immediate access to Nvidia GB300 chips — advanced processors used to develop and operate AI models. Under the terms of the deal, Reflection has agreed to pay SpaceX $150 million each month starting July 1, 2026, with payments continuing through 2029.
CNBC reported the total payments could reach approximately $6.3 billion if the contract runs its full course. Either party has the option to exit the agreement with 90 days’ notice, but only after the first three months of the deal.
Neither SpaceX nor Reflection responded to requests for comment from Reuters regarding the agreement. However, the Nvidia-backed startup posted a brief statement on LinkedIn, saying: “More compute gives us more room to push the frontier on open models,” without elaborating further.
The Reflection agreement is one of several recent commercial deals for SpaceX. The company has also secured contracts with technology giant Google and AI startup Anthropic. Earlier this month, SpaceX announced that Google would pay the company $920 million per month from October of this year through June 2029, with a reduced fee during a ramp-up period running through September.
SpaceX shares fell roughly 10.6% in afternoon trading on Monday.
