Тус стартап нь Beam загвараа Хятадын тэргүүлэх нээлттэй загваруудын гүйцэтгэлтэй дүйцэхүйц бөгөөд тооцооллын зардлыг эрс бууруулсан гэж мэдэгдэв.
Хоёр жилийн түүхтэй Reflection AI компани өөрийн анхны “frontier” буюу нээлттэй жинтэй Beam загвараа албан ёсоор танилцууллаа. Энэхүү загвар нь 501 тэрбум параметртэй бөгөөд 23 тэрбум идэвхтэй параметрээр ажилладаг байна. Beam нь 23.8 их наяд токен дээр урьдчилан сургагдсан, 1 сая токен хүртэлх контекст цонхыг дэмждэг, зөвхөн текстэд суурилсан “mixture-of-experts” архитектуртай загвар юм.
Компанийн зүгээс Beam загварыг сэтгэн бодох чадвар, кодчилол болон агент даалгавруудыг гүйцэтгэхэд бусад өрсөлдөгчдөөсөө хамаагүй бага тооцооллын зардал, хугацаа шаарддаг “ажлын морь” хэмээн тодорхойлсон байна. Reflection-ийн дотоод үнэлгээгээр, Beam нь Хятадын Z.ai компанийн GLM-5.2 загвартай ижил түвшний гүйцэтгэл үзүүлж, Барууны нээлттэй загваруудыг давсан үзүүлэлттэй байгаа ч энэ нь хараат бус байгууллагаар хараахан баталгаажаагүй юм.
2024 онд Google DeepMind-ын хуучин судлаачдын үүсгэн байгуулсан Reflection AI нь одоогоор 4.7 тэрбум ам.долларын санхүүжилт татаад байгаа бөгөөд 25 тэрбум ам.долларын үнэлгээтэй байна. Тус компани нь NVIDIA-ийн GB300 чипүүдийг 2029 он хүртэл ашиглах томоохон хэлцлүүдийг SpaceX болон Nebius-тай хийж, тооцооллын хүчин чадлаа баталгаажуулжээ.
Reflection нь Beam загвараа байгууллага, төрийн сектор болон хөгжүүлэгчдэд чиглүүлж байгаа бөгөөд “AI үйлдвэр” хэмээх концепцоор дамжуулан байгууллагуудад өөрсдийн өгөгдөл дээр суурилсан дотоод хиймэл оюун ухааны системийг бий болгох боломжийг олгохыг зорьж байна. Энэхүү загварын жин болон техникийн дэлгэрэнгүй мэдээллийг энэ сард багтаан олон нийтэд нээлттэй гаргахаар төлөвлөж байгаа аж.

Reflection AI is officially unveiling Beam, its first frontier, open-weight AI model. The two-year-old startup claims Beam matches the performance of leading Chinese open models on advanced reasoning benchmarks at dramatically lower costs, a claim that could heat up the race to build a Western answer to DeepSeek, Qwen, and Z.ai.
Reflection’s announcement confirms reporting from Axios over the weekend that the startup was close to a launch. The company shared new details in a lengthy blog post Monday, which described Beam as a text-only mixture-of-experts model trained on high-compute reinforcement learning to be effective at reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks at “a fraction of the token cost and inference time compute” of rivals.
Beam is a 501-billion-parameter model with 23 billion active parameters. It was pre-trained on 23.8 trillion tokens and has a 1 million token context window. To compare, Z.ai’s GLM 5.2 has roughly 744 billion total parameters with 40 billion active.
Reflection’s performance claims haven’t been independently verified, but on advanced reasoning benchmarks, Reflection says Beam scores on par with Z.ai’s GLM-5.2 and outperforms today’s leading Western open models while using “3-4x less inference compute.” Reflection calls it a “workhorse model” for enterprises, the public sector, and developers.
Reflection is positioning itself against closed labs like Anthropic and OpenAI, against popular open models from Chinese developers, and against Western players like Mistral, Meta, and Cohere. Its most direct U.S. rival might be Inkling, the open model from Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab released in July. Reflection’s own benchmarks show that Beam outscores Inkling on four coding tests where both report results, but Inkling is a multimodal model and Beam is text-only.
Reflection was founded in 2024 by two former Google DeepMind researchers and has raised roughly $4.7 billion from backers including Nvidia, Sequoia Capital, and Lightspeed Venture Partners, per PitchBook. Its last round valued the company at a $25 billion pre-money valuation.
The startup has also been locking up compute — a key ingredient needed to train frontier models capable of luring customers away from Anthropic and OpenAI’s closed models, as well as the cheaper openweight models from Chinese labs. This summer, Reflection signed deals collectively worth more than $7 billion with SpaceX and Nebius to secure access to Nvidia’s GB300 chips through 2029.
Reflection is aiming Beam and future models at enterprises and sovereign nations. The pitch is to build “AI factories,” a product that would let institutions build their own customized, local AI system by training Reflection’s AI models off their own proprietary data. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company backs Reflection, has long championed the “AI factory” idea and pushed to strengthen the open AI ecosystem — a vision that would also benefit Nvidia, whose GPUs would power those systems.
Axios reported that hedge funds and trading firms are among those eager to build such systems. Reflection has already begun testing the concept of a sovereign AI factory partnership with Shinsegae Group in South Korea.
Reflection says it will release Beam’s weights and full technical details this month, with distribution through hyperscalers and neoclouds and integrations across open source libraries at launch.
Reflection did not respond in time to TechCrunch’s requests for more information.
