Reflection Beam 1.0 · OpenRouter
A paid hosted offer for Beam’s coding and tool-based workflows. Compare its ongoing cost with Gateway’s temporary free access; neither option has a matched independent quality result here.
Released 2026-10-16 · Catalog added 2026-10-16 UTC · Checked 2026-11-03. Catalog addition and provider launch are separate dates.
We still need comparable independent tests. You can compare the confirmed features and limits below, but we cannot yet give this version an Agent Fit or Practical Value rating. Test it on your own tasks before switching; results for another version or thinking setting may not apply.
What you can use today
Token prices measure the small pieces of text the model reads or produces. Capacity is the amount the service accepts in a request; check the limits below for any fallback to another model. A dash means the rate is unverified.
Exact catalog ID: reflection/beam-1.0-501b-a23b. The OpenRouter offer defaults to max thinking and cannot turn thinking off. Native account defaults can differ. Vendor benchmarks are not a matched effort study.
Available thinking settings: low, medium, high, xhigh, max. We do not yet have comparable independent results for these settings. The documented OpenRouter offer default is max when effort is omitted. A default is not a recommendation for every task.
Weights became available October 16. The October 5 announcement and October 16 hosted offers are different milestones, not proof of a new checkpoint.
OpenRouter now lists 1,048,576 context and 131,072 maximum output tokens, matching the native standard output allowance. Earlier larger hosted declarations remain historical.
Rates describe the catalog offer observed on 2026-11-03. Allow for retries and any tool fees. Models that think before answering may also charge for that work.

Test it before switching
Give each model the same examples, tools and definition of success. Record correct outcomes, response time, retries and total cost. A cheaper token price does not guarantee a cheaper completed task.
