Nvidia-Backed Reflection Unveils Open AI Model, Taking on China
Reflection AI, an artificial intelligence startup from two former Google DeepMind researchers, has unveiled a new open-weight model that it says rivals leading options in the US and China.
The model, called Beam, is designed to perform well for business customers and developers on coding and AI agent tasks while costing less than many competitors, the company said on Monday. It said Beam scores comparably on advanced reasoning benchmarks to GLM-5.2, a flagship open model from China’s Z.AI.
