Nvidia Backs Reflection in $150M/Month SpaceXAI Deal and Unveils Robotics Safety System
NVDA•Reflection, backed by Nvidia's $800 million stake, will access SpaceX Colossus 2 infrastructure paying $150 million per month from July 1, 2026 through 2029 for GB300 reasoning chips and related hardware. Nvidia also unveiled Halos for Robotics, the industry’s first full-stack safety system, and supported the rollout of 35 new NVIDIA AI HPC supercomputers across Europe.
1. SpaceXAI Compute Partnership
Reflection, the open-source AI startup with an $800 million investment from Nvidia, secured immediate access to SpaceX Colossus 2 data center infrastructure. After an initial ramp period, Reflection will pay $150 million monthly from July 1, 2026 through 2029 for GB300 reasoning chips and related hardware, with either party able to terminate on 90 days’ notice after three months.
2. Introduction of Halos for Robotics
Halos for Robotics is Nvidia’s first full-stack safety architecture for physical AI and robotics, integrating IGX Thor compute modules, Holoscan Sensor Bridge connectivity and the Halos OS software stack for built-in safety functions. Agility has begun integrating the system into its industrial humanoid robots and will use Nvidia’s ANAB-accredited inspection lab to prepare for third-party certification against IEC, ISO and functional AI safety standards.
3. European AI Supercomputer Expansion
Nvidia announced a record 35 AI HPC supercomputers in development across 23 European countries, built on NVIDIA Blackwell and Hopper platforms. Together these systems will deliver over 800 exaflops of AI training and inference capacity to support climate science, healthcare, clean-energy decarbonization, quantum computing and other advanced research at national and academic centers.
