It’s official! Excited to join @reflection_ai. Moving forward this account will be all open source, all the time — explaining what these AI models do and why they are important 🚀

"A new kind of AI company is establishing a foothold in Washington — at a pivotal moment in the live policy debate around who should control AI and how to beat China in the AI race. Enter @reflection_ai."

This one is meaningful on many levels.

@reflection_ai is partnering with @ENERGY to power the Genesis Mission -- becoming the AI model provider across all 17 U.S. National Labs. Open-source, by design.

"It's personal for me because I'm an immigrant to this country, and I moved here because my parents got jobs in a national lab." @MishaLaskin

Thank you @ashleyrgold @axios

[Eleanor Hawkins @emayhawk]

"You can't do scientific discovery on a closed [AI] model. It would be like doing rocket science, but you only get to look at the rocket, as opposed to taking it apart and examining the engine," @reflection_ai CEO @MishaLaskin told @ashleyrgold

[Reflection @reflection_ai]

Our open models are designed to support the Genesis Mission by giving the scientists in our national labs the flexibility and sovereignty to work on their own terms. Learn more ⤵️

🚨 New: @reflection_ai's open-source AI models will be part of @Dell AI Factory, running on-premises so regulated enterprises and governments can use AI without their data ever touching an outside cloud. This is what secure, open-source AI looks like in practice. https://t.co/bEAARVvM4c

[Eleanor Hawkins @emayhawk]

As @Dareasmunhoz of @PunchbowlNews points out: The open-source conversation has returned to Washington, as these AI models offer more transparency, control and customization, while also addressing national security concerns. https://t.co/y7zeUyLnb0

[Punchbowl News @PunchbowlNews]

Reflection AI, the Nvidia-backed startup, is hoping Washington opens a seat at the table for open-source models.

The details from @Dareasmunhoz: https://t.co/FRHXMPGY6F

The shape of the labor market will change, as it always does when new tech is unlocked.
- "But the claim that AI will produce economy-wide, permanent unemployment is unhelpful marketing, bad economics and worse history."

Status News: in 2026, traffic for @axios is up 30% year over year, even as content output is down 22%.

From @NatalieKorach:

[Axios @axios]

🏦 WATCH: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon joins @JimVandeHei on a new episode of THE AXIOS SHOW.

Dimon dives in on:

• CEO silence under Trump
• Why the Iran war is justified
• Pinning blame over Epstein

[Axios Comms @AxiosComms]

⚡️ "You can't control the world — but you can control you."

That's the mantra that took a once "unremarkably unremarkable 20-year-old @axios CEO @JimVandeHei" all the way to launching companies and interviewing presidents.

Former Defense Sec. @MarkTEsper on the Pentagon vs. Anthropic fight at Axios AI+ DC:

"I respect Anthropic's trying to take a principled stand here, but I think they're fundamentally wrong."

I highly recommend @AmyAHarder's look at Nvidia and #energy in today's special @axios Future of Energy newsletter. Link in next post! #AI #datacenters

🌐@PalmerLuckey tells @demarest_colin on The Axios Show that CEOs like himself and Elon Musk being “larger than life” online serves as “a recruiting engine."

“Our company probably wouldn't have gotten a lot of our best talent if we weren't out there in that way.”

@JakeWilkns @Emily_Sundberg Oh, hey. Thanks for the referral
