Reflection releases Beam's open weights

The 501-billion-parameter model's Apache 2.0 checkpoints became available on October 16, after an October 5 preview promised weights later in the month. Hugging Face tested the release and says its full-precision weights occupy about 1 TB; it recommends four B200 GPUs for serving. Reflection's benchmark comparisons remain vendor claims.
