Reflection is a research lab making intelligence open and accessible for everyone to use, customize, and build on. Our team previously built frontier LLMs at labs like DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic. We believe AI should be built in the open, with transparent research and collaborative development. That means giving enterprises, governments, and sovereign entities true ownership and control of AI that performs at the highest level. Our mission: make intelligence open and accessible to all.

ClickHouse is a fast, open-source columnar database built for real-time data processing and analytics at scale. ClickHouse Cloud delivers the query speed and concurrency that applications demanding instant insight from large volumes of data require. As AI agents become more embedded in software, generating higher query volumes at tighter latency, ClickHouse provides a high-throughput, low-latency engine purpose-built for that workload.

Web development has advanced in leaps and bounds in the last decade, but front-end testing has not. Testing sucks. It’s the part that every developer dreads. It’s often harder to write a passing test than an actual feature. We want to spend our time building cool things, and we need tools that match how we build modern applications. Therefore we built a revolutionary new testing tool from the ground up. We have created a product that we love and actually use ourselves. Our team is highly experienced and passionate about solving problems. We’re lucky enough to have some of the best minds in the industry. Being open source, Cypress is evolving faster and better than if we worked on it alone. Now developers can ship their software faster and more consistently, with confidence. We believe testing needs a lot of love, and we are here to foster a tool, a service, and a community that can teach and benefit everyone.

On July 1, 2024, IBM acquired StreamSets, a real-time data integration company specializing in streaming structured, unstructured and semistructured data across hybrid multicloud environments. Acquired from Software AG along with webMethods, this strategic acquisition expands IBM’s already robust data integration capabilities, helping to solidify our position as a leader in the data integration market and enhancing IBM Data Fabric’s delivery of secure, high-quality data for artificial intelligence (AI). Existing StreamSets clients continue to receive the same high level of support and service they have come to expect. Moreover, this acquisition brings increased investment to extend connectivity and CDC support, integrate with data lineage and data observability, and focus on end-to-end data pipeline orchestration.
