Introducing Reflection Beam: an open-weight model for agentic coding on AWS | Amazon Web Services

https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/f1f836cb4ea6efb2a0b1b99f41ad8b103eff4b59/2026/10/15/ML-22133-featured-image.png

Reflection AI introduced Beam, an open-weight model for agentic coding and long-horizon tasks such as maintaining code, using tools, interpreting results, and completing multi-step workflows. The open-weight release gives developers and researchers control over the runtime, deployment environment, and customization process.

In this post, we explain Reflection’s vision and show how you can deploy Beam on AWS. Start with an Amazon SageMaker JumpStart real-time endpoint for a fully managed path. When you need Kubernetes-native control over distributed GPU infrastructure, use Amazon SageMaker HyperPod Inference with JumpStart, SGLang, or vLLM. We also explain how Beam’s 501 billion total parameters shape checkpoint storage, weight memory, sharding, and parallelism, while its 23 billion active parameters influence per-token compute.

At launch, Beam is available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart in US East (N. Virginia) and US East (Ohio).

Claude flags nearly 500 worrying open source security issues — C, Java, and Python code all at risk as one flaw…

* Anthropic used Claude to analyze 25 open source projects and uncovered nearly 500 security issues * Research found exposed pre-authentication code paths, conflicting security settings, and long-hidden flaws * AI identified attack-surface reductions that removed unnecessary code exposure before vulnerabilities could be exploited Anthropic recently used Claude to analyze 25 major open
