Mission

Reflection’s mission is to build frontier open intelligence and make it accessible to all.

We’re developing open weight models for individuals, agents, enterprises, and even nation states. Our team of AI researchers and company builders come from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta, Character.AI, Anthropic and beyond.

We’re hiring in San Francisco, New York, and London, with relocation support available for those moving from other areas.

Many of the problems we tackle require real-time alignment and fast resolution. We’ve found this is best achieved in-person.

Values and principles

Defining and building the frontier of open weight models is a vast opportunity. It’s a responsibility we take seriously, and it’s something we feel fortunate to work on. There is a lot to do. We focus on the most meaningful problems and work with urgency while holding ourselves to a few principles:

  • High trust: We assume the best in each other. It lets us move faster and make better decisions even when they are hard.
  • Intellectual honesty: To advance quickly, we test hypotheses, adapt to new evidence, and seek truth over ego or attachment.
  • Do the simple thing that works: The best solutions aren’t always the most complex. Start simple, learn, then iterate.
  • Reliable and trustworthy: We release models that reflect us. We push the frontier of open superintelligence without compromising on safety, security, or individual freedoms.
  • Team first: No politics. Close collaboration. We’re in this together.
