Reflection releases the open-source large model Beam: a 501B-parameter sparse MoE architecture that supports million-token contexts and multi-level inference control.
Reflection has released the open-source large language model Beam (501B parameters, with 23B effective activations per token), which employs a 256-expert sparse MoE architecture, supports 1M tokens of context, NVFP4/FP8 quantization, multi-level inference configuration, and on-premises deployment. All technical claims have not been independently verified, hardware requirements are high, and the community generally believes that individual users will find it difficult to afford.
