Audience
Developers, AI researchers, and engineering teams requiring a tool to run coding, reasoning, tool-use, and agentic workloads with an efficient open-weight language model
About Beam
Beam is Reflection’s first open-weight model, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with 501 billion total parameters and 23 billion active parameters, built for coding, reasoning, and agentic workloads. Its capabilities come from large-scale pretraining and reinforcement learning, including training on 23.8 trillion diverse, curated, high-quality tokens from the web, public sources, and proprietary licensed datasets. Beam was trained with a particular focus on coding and agentic performance and is designed to deliver competitive open-weight capabilities with efficient inference compute. It supports complex software engineering, terminal, STEM, web search, tool-use, and general knowledge tasks, with reinforcement learning designed to improve multi-step reasoning, tool use, and adaptation to environment feedback. Users can control the tradeoff between performance and token usage through a reasoning effort parameter.
