Reflection AI launches Beam, an open-weight reasoning model

Original: NVIDIA-backed Reflection AI has unveiled Beam, an open-weight model designed to deliver frontier-tier reasoning capabili

Reflection AI, a startup backed by NVIDIA, has unveiled Beam, an open-weight model that claims frontier-tier reasoning while using far less compute than comparable systems. The company says it matches leading Chinese architectures such as GLM-5.2 while cutting inference costs, positioning it as a serious open alternative in the escalating race over efficient AI reasoning models.

Why now: Claims of frontier-level reasoning at lower cost, backed by NVIDIA, feed ongoing debate about open models versus closed frontier AI.
