🇺🇦 Alex Polozov@Skiminok·
🎉 Next week, I am excited to join @reflection_ai as a Member of Technical Staff to help build the open intelligence ecosystem of the Western world. It's the most exciting opportunity to help software builders in our time, and will shape many years of AI Engineering in the medium-term before AGI. Not just about Western vs Eastern open models, but more about how AI-driven software will look like in 2030. I spent some time articulating my thoughts about where we're going as a community and why... which became a whole blog post. Take a look, hope it interests you! (And if it really does, we are hiring in NYC, SF, and London 😉) alexpolozov.com/blog/reflectio…

We're bringing the open-model frontier back to the U.S. to advance the science and engineering of agentic intelligence for the world. Grateful to our investors for powering this vision: NVIDIA, Disruptive, DST, 1789, B Capital, Lightspeed, GIC, Eric Yuan, Eric Schmidt, Citi, Sequoia, CRV, and others.
Reflection@reflection_ai

Today we're sharing the next phase of Reflection. We're building frontier open intelligence accessible to all. We've assembled an extraordinary AI team, built a frontier LLM training stack, and raised $2 billion. Why Open Intelligence Matters Technological and scientific progress is driven by values of openness and collaboration. The internet, Linux, and the protocols and standards that underpin modern computing are all open. This isn't a coincidence. Open software is what gets forked, customized, and embedded into systems worldwide. It's what universities teach, what startups build on, what enterprises deploy. Open science enables others to learn from the results, be inspired by them, interrogate them, and build upon them in order to push the frontier of human knowledge and scientific advancement. AI got to where it is today through scaling ideas (e.g. self-attention, next token prediction, reinforcement learning) that were shared and published openly. Now AI is becoming the technology layer that everything else runs on top of. The systems that accelerate scientific research, enhance education, optimize energy usage, supercharge medical diagnoses, and run supply chains will all be built on AI infrastructure. But the frontier is currently concentrated in closed labs. If this continues, a handful of entities will control the capital, compute, and talent required to build AI, creating a runaway dynamic that locks everyone else out. There's a narrow window to change this trajectory. We need to build open models so capable that they become the obvious choice for users and developers worldwide, ensuring the foundation of intelligence remains open and accessible rather than controlled by a few. What We've Built Over the last year, we've been preparing for this mission. We’ve assembled a team who have pioneered breakthroughs including PaLM, Gemini, AlphaGo, AlphaCode, AlphaProof, and contributed to ChatGPT and Character AI, among many others. We built something once thought possible only inside the world’s top labs: a large-scale LLM and reinforcement learning platform capable of training massive Mixture-of-Experts (MoEs) models at frontier scale. We saw the effectiveness of our approach first-hand when we applied it to the critical domain of autonomous coding. With this milestone unlocked, we're now bringing these methods to general agentic reasoning. We've raised significant capital and identified a scalable commercial model that aligns with our open intelligence strategy, ensuring we can continue building and releasing frontier models sustainably. We are now scaling up to build open models that bring together large-scale pretraining and advanced reinforcement learning from the ground up. Safety and Responsibility Open intelligence also changes how we think about safety. It enables the broader community to participate in safety research and discourse, rather than leaving critical decisions to a few closed labs. Transparency allows independent researchers to identify risks, develop mitigations, and hold systems accountable in ways that closed development cannot. But openness also requires confronting the challenges of capable models being widely accessible. We're investing in evaluations to assess capabilities and risks before release, security research to protect against misuse, and responsible deployment standards. We believe the answer to AI safety is not “security through obscurity” but rigorous science conducted in the open, where the global research community can contribute to solutions rather than a handful of companies making decisions behind closed doors. Join Us There is a window of opportunity today to build frontier open intelligence, but it is closing and this may be the last. If this mission resonates, join us.

Being at Reflection feels like one of those rare moments - a small team, stacked with talent, moving fast. To build open intelligence, you have to start at the foundation. It might take more capital. It definitely takes exceptional people. If you know someone who's a 10/10 — especially in AI research — dm me. We’re hiring in SF, New York and London

Today we're sharing the next phase of Reflection. We're building frontier open intelligence accessible to all. We've assembled an extraordinary AI team, built a frontier LLM training stack, and raised $2 billion. Why Open Intelligence Matters Technological and scientific progress is driven by values of openness and collaboration. The internet, Linux, and the protocols and standards that underpin modern computing are all open. This isn't a coincidence. Open software is what gets forked, customized, and embedded into systems worldwide. It's what universities teach, what startups build on, what enterprises deploy. Open science enables others to learn from the results, be inspired by them, interrogate them, and build upon them in order to push the frontier of human knowledge and scientific advancement. AI got to where it is today through scaling ideas (e.g. self-attention, next token prediction, reinforcement learning) that were shared and published openly. Now AI is becoming the technology layer that everything else runs on top of. The systems that accelerate scientific research, enhance education, optimize energy usage, supercharge medical diagnoses, and run supply chains will all be built on AI infrastructure. But the frontier is currently concentrated in closed labs. If this continues, a handful of entities will control the capital, compute, and talent required to build AI, creating a runaway dynamic that locks everyone else out. There's a narrow window to change this trajectory. We need to build open models so capable that they become the obvious choice for users and developers worldwide, ensuring the foundation of intelligence remains open and accessible rather than controlled by a few. What We've Built Over the last year, we've been preparing for this mission. We’ve assembled a team who have pioneered breakthroughs including PaLM, Gemini, AlphaGo, AlphaCode, AlphaProof, and contributed to ChatGPT and Character AI, among many others. We built something once thought possible only inside the world’s top labs: a large-scale LLM and reinforcement learning platform capable of training massive Mixture-of-Experts (MoEs) models at frontier scale. We saw the effectiveness of our approach first-hand when we applied it to the critical domain of autonomous coding. With this milestone unlocked, we're now bringing these methods to general agentic reasoning. We've raised significant capital and identified a scalable commercial model that aligns with our open intelligence strategy, ensuring we can continue building and releasing frontier models sustainably. We are now scaling up to build open models that bring together large-scale pretraining and advanced reinforcement learning from the ground up.

Incredibly proud of the team at @reflection_ai - today we’re announcing our Series B and partnership with NVIDIA. I joined Reflection a year ago with the dream of helping build a frontier lab. This partnership with NVIDIA and our Series B push us meaningfully closer to that goal. Still lots to build, but the talent here makes me confident we’ll get there. Stay tuned 🚀

I've spent years pushing the boundaries of pretraining—first as lead author on PaLM, then as a lead contributor on Gemini pre-training. Now I'm at Reflection, building open-weight agentic models at the frontier from the ground up. Today we're announcing our Series B to accelerate this mission. What excites me most is the team of world-class researchers who are deeply bought into this mission and the opportunity to build a frontier lab from scratch. Pre-training at scale. RL at scale. Agentic reasoning. The full stack. It's rare to get the resources, the talent, and the mission aligned like this. If you're passionate about this mission and pre-training/RL at scale to advance the open frontier, join us on our ambitious journey! DM me. We’re hiring in SF, New York and London: reflection.ai/careers
