Is Beam out yet?
Beam was announced on October 5, 2026 with a waitlist and a promise: open weights under Apache 2.0 “later this month”. We check every item below against official sources and update this page as things ship.
Short answer
Not fully. You can join the waitlist for Reflection's beta API, but the weights, technical report and model card are not public yet, and Beam is not on OpenRouter, Ollama or Hugging Face.
