Reflection AI released **Beam**, a 501-billion-parameter open model, designed to complete tasks using fewer tokens than comparable models, reducing per-task costs. The company trained Beam with reinforcement learning, penalizing unnecessary token usage while ensuring task completion. Beam outperforms competitors like DeepSeek’s V4.1 Flash in token efficiency, according to benchmarking firm Artificial Analysis. While Chinese models dominate performance rankings, U.S. firms like Pinterest, DoorDash, and Coinbase have adopted them for cost savings. Reflection positions Beam as a lean alternative, targeting enterprise use cases like coding and agent workflows.
