Beam is an low latency US open-weight reasoning model for coding and agentic tasks, with . Beam supports and , with a 1M-token context window for code, documents, and conversation history. Reasoning effort is adjustable. Beam is designed for speed, activating only 23B of its 501B parameters per token and avoiding tokens a task doesn't need, so it tends to reach answers sooner than larger open models.weights released under Apache 2.0tool callingstructured outputs
