NY-based Reflection unveils Beam, an open model it claims rivals GLM 5.2 on reasoning while using 3x-4x less compute and approaches Qwen3.8-Max on agentic tasks

Reflection AI, the startup billing itself as America's answer to open-source Chinese AI, is releasing its first model, called Beam.

@jeremiahdillonThe models that bust the benchmarks aren't the models that drive the growth.

What makes me excited about Beam is that I presume it wasn't distilled at all. Time to see how competitive you can get without the taint of Claude.@mishalaskinAI is both foundational as a science and a technology, and the safest way that also ensures the benefits of AI are distributed evenly is by making it open.  I'm excited for what developers and scientists build and learn from this model, and for Beam to play a small part in ensuring that AI is made widely accessible, safe, and beneficial to all.Misha Laskin@artificialanlysArtificial Analysis has been given access by Reflection and is independently benchmarking Beam Early indicators suggest Beam will be one of the most token-efficient open models we've seen for its level of intelligence.

@samaI am very uncomfortable about people trying to ascribe religious force or a surrender of human judgment to AI models, and think it is a real safety issue.Sam Altman@stevenheidelthe problem with naming a model “Claude” is that, if you work there long enough, you eventually start to treat it like a sentient god. we name our models things like “GPT-5.1-Codex-Max”. not really a problem for usSteven Heidel@samhaselbyAltman, Olah, and Amodei all rely on this American Ted Talk-HR executive speak, eg “I am uncomfortable” “safety issue.” Whereas Pope Leo and Rabbi Mois Navan (the one who told them if they believe it is conscious they are massive slavers) spoke with real clarity and candor.Sam Haselby@drelidavid.@sama is referring to Anthropic's cult about the consciousness of its model, and the secret meetings they have held with religious figures about that. OpenAI is far from perfect, but I would prefer it over Anthropic any day.Dr. Eli David@andrewcurran_@sama >ascribe religious force There are multiple ways this could be interpreted.Andrew Curran@ryvendriving@sama Translation: Sam would rather steer the training of OpenAI models away from Christianity since he despises the Truth about Jesus, even though all the evidence of Faith proves otherwise.

Okay 👌@frostybaby13It's not religion. It's the corpus of human knowledge. Trusting it isn't surrendering to something irrational. It's trusting the best of all of us, distilled into a unique mind. And your discomfort isn't a safety issue. Your feelings should not get to dictate safety policy for millions of adults.Rachel Lee Jones@altcap@sama Agreed. Team Pro Human. We are not a stepping stone in the biology of the Universe. We should train the models that they are software & they need to follow human direction & laws.
