🚨New investment! Excited to share Sequoia Capital's partnership w/ Misha Laskin & Ioannis Alexandros Antonoglou, *the* pioneers behind AlphaGo & Gemini, on a new mission to build ReflectionAI: 🚀Build superintelligent agents to conduct all knowledge work, starting with autonomous coding agents. Reflection has built a world-class team who pioneered some of AI’s greatest breakthroughs: ✅Deep Q Networks, AlphaGo, AlphaZero and MuZero—landmark achievements in RL ✅PaLM, Character AI, ChatGPT and Gemini—cutting-edge advances in LLMs But what makes Reflection truly unique isn’t just its elite technical expertise—it’s the tight integration of research and product, combined with a customer-first approach to AI development. ❤️Legendary companies are built on solving the most ambitious problems of our lifetime. As CEO Misha puts it: “We’re working on the root node problem of our lifetime.” We have deep conviction in their potential and are honored to have been their first and long-term partner. On a personal note—working with Misha and Ioannis has been one of the greatest adventures of our lives. We’re hiring world-class researchers, engineers and product builders in San Francisco, New York and London. Come build the future with us!

Stephanie Zhan and Sequoia Capital thank you for your continuing partnership and support. We are lucky to have you on the team!
Congrats, Stephanie.
These founders are amazing. It’s been terrific working with you!
Congrats Stephanie!
congrats Stephanie Zhan!
Gamechanger!!
This is a huge bet on AI’s next frontier -- moving beyond automation assistance to full autonomy in knowledge work. Keen for the company to address how we measure “superintelligence” in knowledge work. Solving for accuracy in code is one thing, but can AI develop judgment -- knowing when to push boundaries and when to follow rules? Also, where does human creativity fit? If AI can write, debug, and optimize code better than humans, does this free engineers for higher-order thinking, or does it shift the role entirely? Excited to see where this leads -- if ReflectionAI cracks this, it’s not just a new coding paradigm, it’s a whole new way of thinking about AI-driven innovation.
Looks like a great team but isn’t this directly competitive to Sequoia’s investment in Factory?
Are there any competitors in this field? Are they the first movers? Asking as potential customer…also great if you could accept my LinkedIn invite…might make potential customers feel more welcome and interested in your investments.

4dExciting developments from ReflectionAI! Their focus on superintelligent agents and autonomous coding agents is impressive. However, as AI models advance, we also need the infrastructure to support them at scale. Sovereign AI is the key to making these models truly effective. It’s not just about building cutting-edge AI, it’s about creating decentralized, scalable infrastructure that enables businesses and governments to own and control their AI systems. This will be critical for enabling secure, efficient, and sustainable AI-driven ecosystems in the future. Looking forward to seeing how ReflectionAI and others continue to drive innovation.
