Day-0 support with 5x perf for Reflection Beam on Google Cloud
Today, Reflection released Beam, its first open-weight model built to give developers, researchers, and enterprises open control and customization for frontier software engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. Released under a permissive Apache 2.0 license with BF16, FP8, and NVFP4 checkpoints available at launch, Beam sets a new standard for inference efficiency in the 500B-parameter class by solving complex reasoning and coding problems with 3x to 4x higher reasoning compute efficiency than comparable open models.
Alongside today’s release, Google Cloud is announcing day 0 support and ready-to-run deployment recipes for serving Beam on Google Cloud AI Hypercomputer and NVIDIA AI Infrastructure.
To help developers get the full benefit of Beam’s token efficiency in production, we worked with Reflection to optimize performance of the underlying serving stack using llm-d (with vLLM) and NVIDIA Dynamo (with SGLang) on Google Cloud:
"By deploying our Beam model on Google Cloud, we achieved up to...
