Reflection Launches Beam 1.0, a 501B Open-Weight MoE Model
Understand the event
Reflection launched Beam 1.0, a 501B mixture-of-experts model, making its weights available across platforms under the Apache 2.0 license in collaboration with more than 40 ecosystem partners. Reflection’s announcement lists a tokenizer, reference implementation, BF16, FP8 and NVFP4 weights, a DFlash2 drafter, and Mirror CLI. The Beam 1.0 NVFP4 checkpoint is available on Hugging Face. NVIDIA AI said Beam was trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and delivers more than 70K tokens per second per GPU on Blackwell Ultra out of the box at launch. Hugging Face also announced a livestream with the Reflection team to discuss how it built Beam.

Reflection released Beam on Hugging Face, a 501B MoE model with 23B active parameters per token, a 1M-token context window, and an Apache 2.0 license. The text-only model targets coding and agentic work, with BF16, FP8, and NVFP4 checkpoints and day-0 support in transformers, vLLM, and SGLang. Hugging Face provides deployment and post-training recipes alongside its own task evaluations and demos.
