Reflection AI launches open-source Beam model with 501B parameters
Original: Reflection AI debuts open-source Beam model with 501B parameters
Reflection AI has introduced Beam, a large language model with 501 billion parameters released under an open-source license. The debut makes Beam one of the biggest openly available models, putting it in direct competition with closed systems from major AI labs and giving developers the ability to inspect, adapt and run the model themselves. Coverage so far focuses on the sheer scale of the release and what it signals for the open-weight AI race.
Why now: A major new open-source AI model at unprecedented scale is a significant development in the ongoing competition between open and closed AI systems.
