SpaceX inks compute deal with Reflection AI, an open-source AI lab

Reflection AI will spend $150 million per month beginning July 1, 2026 through 2029 for immediate access to Nvidia's latest GB300 AI chips and supporting hardware at SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis. The deal underscores continued demand for scarce AI compute infrastructure and high-end accelerators, with a multiyear commitment that implies roughly $1.8 billion annually. The news is positive for AI infrastructure providers and Nvidia-linked ecosystem spending, though the direct market impact is likely limited to affected names.
