The FT reports NVIDIA is in talks to acquire open-weight model startup Reflection AI; Jensen Huang has already invested $800M in it.
The author recalls NVIDIA hired a full GTM team two years ago to become a neocloud, then opted out — that team is now likely to be repurposed for an open-weight LLM play first initiated by HuggingFace.
Argument: several large labs can't handle the product stage and need cash, GPUs and sales muscle; within 12 months, GTM execution will rival compute and model performance as the core corporate narrative. Unconfirmed report.
