…a Shipped Model. The Open-Source Frontier Just Got a Procurement Story. Reflection AI signed with SpaceX on June 22, 2026 for $150M a month of GB300 capacity at Colossus 2 starting July 1, totaling ~$6.3B through 2029. It is the third frontier-tier Colossus lease in seven months (Anthropic ~$45B, Google ~$30B, then Cursor acquisition) and the first one for a lab that has not yet released weights. The angle: SpaceX is doing the Equinix move at the AI layer (neutral multi-tenant gigawatts the Big Three cannot unbundle from a managed-service tax), and the open-source compute floor in the US just got priced at hyperscaler tier, with a Pentagon-clearance moat that separates Reflection from DeepSeek and Z.ai. Filters: FRESH (June 22 deal, never covered), DISTINCT TF ANGLE (neocloud + open-source procurement floor read; the 90-day notice clause that the wires buried), BRAND FIT (AI infra mega-deal). Marcus Chen for the business-deal lens. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Marcus Chen. Mega-cap-scale business deal with valuation/markets-structure implications, and a direct callback to prior Marcus Chen Colossus/Anthropic/China-grid pieces.
