    Reflection previews Beam, a 501B-parameter open agentic model

    AIReflection AI previewed Beam, an MoE open model with 501B total and 23B active parameters, claiming 3–4x better inference efficiency than GLM 5.2. The model was pretrained from scratch on 23.8T tokens in four weeks, and its RL run used 10,500 GB300 GPUs over four weeks, which the post describes as possibly the largest publicly recorded. Reflection positions Beam as a workhorse open model for enterprises, governments, and developers, with full weights due this month.

    Reflection AI's Beam open model is compared against leading Chinese models

    AIThe author says Beam, a 501B-parameter open model from Reflection AI, comes close to GLM 5.2 in capability but trails GLM 5.3, Kimi K3, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in several areas. The author attributes Beam's competitiveness mainly to inference efficiency, with inference compute at roughly one-third to one-quarter of GLM 5.2's.

    Reflection AI's Beam open model has 501B total parameters and 23B active

    AISophia Yang congratulated Reflection AI on Beam, a 501B-parameter open model with 23B active per token. She attributes its efficiency to an RL length penalty that discourages unnecessary tokens and a sparse MoE architecture. Reflection says full weights will be released this month, and the quoted post reports training over 100 million rollouts on 10.5K NVIDIA GB300 GPUs over four weeks.

    Liquid AI's d1 decision model adds vision, rivaling GPT-6.1 Sol at lower cost

    AILiquid AI released d1 with vision support, accepting images, text, or both as inputs. In tests on six real applications, d1 matched or beat GPT-6.1 Sol on four while costing 19x to 200x less than both GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5. It returns probabilities for yes/no, choice, or score questions in one forward pass, with text decisions in 200 to 300 ms.

    AIIndexTeam released Index-Nailong-9B-FP4, an official NVFP4 (W4A4) quantization of the Index-Nailong-9B multilingual translation model, which covers 150 languages. In a validation on an NVIDIA A100 against the BF16 checkpoint, perplexity rose 3.10% (2.4339 to 2.5094), and zh-en and en-zh outputs were semantically equivalent. Full FP4 compute acceleration requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, while older GPUs get memory savings only; the FP8 build is recommended for Hopper and Ampere.

    Index-Nailong-2B-FP4 Released as NVFP4 Quantized Translation Model

    AIIndexTeam has released Index-Nailong-2B-FP4, an official NVFP4 (W4A4) quantization of its Index-Nailong-2B multilingual translation model, which supports 150 languages. The checkpoint keeps lm_head, embeddings, and MoE router gates in BF16, and a perplexity test on a fixed corpus rose from 3.2806 to 3.4998 (+6.68%), while zh->en and en->zh outputs matched BF16 semantically. Full FP4 acceleration requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU; on Hopper or Ampere, vLLM provides only memory savings, so the FP8 build is recommended.

    Ai2 open-sources AstaBrief 8B, a fast model for generating cited research reports

    AIAi2 released AstaBrief 8B, an open-weights model that turns a research question and retrieved literature excerpts into a cited report, along with its training data. The model runs as Fast mode in Asta, averaging 51.1 seconds per report versus 178.5 seconds for Thinking mode, about 3.5x faster. The post also describes filtering synthetic training data by citation density and building DPO pairs judged by two models that agreed.

    Why it matters: The post explains how supervised fine-tuning, preference data, and citation-density filtering were used to build a cited-report model, which is useful for teams training their own models.
