      <description>On October 16, 2026 Reflection AI said it had released the weights of Beam, which it calls its first open-weight model, on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license. The Beam-1.0-501B-A23B model card lists the apache-2.0 license, describes a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 501B total and 23B active parameters and a 1M-token context window, says Beam takes text input and generates text output, and says it was developed predominantly for English. Reflection says the weights come in BF16, FP8, and NVFP4 formats along with a speculative decoding drafter model. USASI has not tested Beam.</description>

      <description>On October 5, 2026 Reflection AI introduced Beam, which it calls its first open-weight model: a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 501 billion total and 23 billion active parameters, built for coding, reasoning, and agentic workloads. The announcement says Beam was pretrained on 23.8 trillion tokens and that midtraining extends its effective context length to 1M tokens. As of the announcement, Beam was undergoing final red-teaming and evaluations and was offered through an early-access sign-up; Reflection says it will release the weights under an Apache 2.0 license later in October, along with a technical report, model card, and developer artifacts. The announcement itself does not provide the weights, and USASI has not tested Beam.</description>
