What kind of company or organization is Reflection?

I think it is ever more important to realize who is releasing models rather than what the models do and how they compare.

Because models iterate at breakneck speed, looking at today's benchmarks is only useful for someone using the models today. Whereas if one builds a product on top of it, or commits to one for a project or team, the company or organization behind it, is far more important. Will they exist in a few months? Do they need a business-model? Are they subsidizing usage with venture capital and how long can they keep this up?

Is reflection a company? University lab? NGO?

Looks like general reasoning is their target. As for who:

> The startup was launched in March 2024 by Misha Laskin, who led reward modeling for DeepMind’s Gemini project, and Ioannis Antonoglou, who co-created AlphaGo, the AI system that famously beat the world champion in the board game Go in 2016.

with the obligatory:

> Investors in Reflection AI’s latest round include Nvidia, Disruptive, DST, 1789, B Capital, Lightspeed, GIC, Eric Yuan, Eric Schmidt, Citi, Sequoia, CRV, and others.
