Reflection AI

Reflection AI, Inc. is an American artificial intelligence company founded in 2024 by Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou, both former DeepMind researchers. The company publicly positions itself around 'frontier open intelligence' and the long-term goal of building superintelligent autonomous systems. Its early public thesis was that solving autonomous coding is the most practical path toward broader superintelligence. Reflection combines large-scale LLM training with reinforcement learning and emphasizes open-weight or open foundation models. The company has described its team as drawing talent from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta, Character.AI, and Anthropic. Its best-known publicly documented product is Asimov, a code research agent for enterprise codebases that focuses more on codebase understanding, team knowledge capture, and engineering context synthesis than on raw code generation. Reflection operates from New York, with additional offices in San Francisco and London, and has raised major venture backing from firms and investors including Sequoia, CRV, Lightspeed, NVIDIA, Eric Schmidt, Citi, 1789, and others.
