Reflection AI is the latest startup aiming to redefine AI-powered coding, but its roots trace back to some of the biggest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Co-founders Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou bring deep expertise from their time at Google DeepMind, where they played pivotal roles in advancing reinforcement learning. Antonoglou, a founding engineer at DeepMind, was instrumental in creating AlphaGo, the first AI to defeat human champions in Go. Laskin contributed to reinforcement learning models that influenced Alphabet’s AI developments, including Gemini.
