Beam
Beam is a model from Reflection AI, released Oct 5, 2026. What it could let Clay do, as a hypothesis: could let Clay run enrichment agents on cheaper open weights, so agents switch on inside the plan the buyer already pays for. Every number is vendor-reported; no independent benchmark found yet.
Beam: a model from Reflection AI
Beam is a 501B-parameter open-weight mixture-of-experts model, 23B active, with a 1M-token context window, built for coding, reasoning, tool use and agentic workloads.

- Weights under an Apache 2.0 license later this month, with technical report, model card and tools for running, evaluating and fine-tuning.
What Beam could do for Clay on agents in the plan
Could let Clay run enrichment agents on cheaper open weights, so agents switch on inside the plan the buyer already pays for.
Whether AI agents switch on inside the current contract, or arrive as a second line on the invoice. Clay is at 3 of 4, on medium evidence.
