Beam from Reflection AI, previously available in stealth as stealth/cat-jam, is now available on AI Gateway. Beam is free to use for a limited time during the launch period when serviced by Reflection AI. Beam is an low latency US open-weight reasoning model for coding and agentic tasks, with weights released under Apache 2.0. Beam supports tool calling and structured outputs, 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. There are 2 ways to access Beam for free: Using the standard model name (reflection/beam with provider reflection). When the free period ends, the model slug will automatically transfer over to pricing with no downtime. Using the -free suffix to the standard name (reflection/beam-free). The model will stop serving when the free offer ends. To use it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more, install the latest Vercel CLI and run setup: Then select reflection/beam or reflection/beam-free in the agent. See the coding agents g
