June 22 (Reuters) - Reflection AI said on Monday it has signed a deal with SpaceX SPCX.O that will grant the startup access to additional computing capacity at the Elon Musk-led company's Colossus 2 data center.
Under the agreement, the open-source AI startup will get immediate access to Nvidia NVDA.O GB300s, AI chips used to train and run advanced models, and has agreed to pay SpaceX $150 million per month beginning July 1, 2026, through 2029, CNBC reported, citing materials viewed by the publisher.
Here are some details:
SpaceX and Reflection did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment about the agreement.
CNBC reported the payments would total about $6.3 billion if the agreement runs through the end of its term.
Either company can end the contract with 90 days' notice after the first three months, according to the report.
"More compute gives us more room to push the frontier on open models," the Nvidia-backed startup said in a post on LinkedIn, without sharing more details.
The Reflection deal adds to a string of commercial wins for SpaceX, with the company also striking agreements with technology giant Google and AI startup Anthropic.
Earlier this month, SpaceX said Google will pay the rockets-to-AI group $920 million a month from October this year to June 2029, with capacity ramping up through September at a reduced fee.
Shares of SpaceX were down about 10.6% in afternoon trading.
