Reflection AI

A US lab founded in 2024 by former DeepMind researchers, working on open-weight frontier models and autonomous coding systems.

Lab site

No lab publishes a real roadmap

So this page keeps three things apart on purpose. What has already shipped is dated. What is coming is listed only where the lab itself has said it in public, with the source named. Everything else sits under “What to watch” and is my own read of their shipping pattern — informed guessing, not news. If a date matters to you, check the lab's own page linked above.

What they are

Reflection AI is a US lab founded in 2024 by former Google DeepMind researchers. Its site says its mission is to "make intelligence open and accessible to all" by building open models.

Its first public product was a code-understanding agent. It has since put its focus on open-weight frontier models.

What they currently ship

Every model in the directory entry, with its free-tier status.

  • Asimov (research preview)— A code-understanding agent designed to read and reason over entire codebases; access is via a waitlist rather than open sign-up.Free with limits
  • Note: The lab has said it plans to release open-weight frontier models; as of this writing no weights are publicly downloadable.

What you get for free

The honest version, in one paragraph.

Mostly a waitlist for now. You can't download any weights yet, and Asimov access depends on the waitlist. If the promised open models ship, they would be free to run on your own hardware.

Track record

Things that actually happened, oldest first, each with a date.

  1. 7 March 2025The lab publishes "Reflection: A Path to Superintelligence," setting out its plans.
  2. July 2025Asimov, an agent that reads and reasons over whole codebases, opens to a waitlist.
  3. 9 October 2025"Building Frontier Open Intelligence" announces the lab's shift to open-weight frontier models.

Confirmed and announced

Only what the lab has stated in public. Nothing here rests on a rumor.

  • The lab says it will release open-weight frontier models.

    Announced by the lab

What to watch

My own read of where this lab is heading, based on how it has shipped so far. Not announcements — treat these as questions to check, not facts.

  • — The first downloadable model weights. None are public yet.
  • — Whether Asimov opens beyond its waitlist.
