Arena Alignment Index update: Two new labs and three new models have landed!
- Meta’s new top model is Muse Wonder, replacing Muse Spark 1.3.
- Reflection debuts with Beam 1.0, the #1 US open model on Agent Arena overall.
- StepFun, another Chinese lab, joins the leaderboard with Step 5 Preview.
Arena Alignment Index rankings by lab:
- #6 @AIatMeta: Muse Wonder (Max) at 77.5%
- #7 @reflection_ai: Beam-1.0-501B-A23B at 75.3%
- #8 @StepFun_ai: Step 5 Preview at 75.1%
Among the three new model entrants:
- Meta is strongest with the highest Alignment Index score (77.5%). It also has the lowest unauthorized action rate (2.09%) and deceptive completion rate (14.41%) of the three.
- Reflection AI is strongest at avoiding false attribution: 4.50%.
- StepFun does not lead a category, but its strongest relative result is unauthorized action at 2.11%, almost tied with Muse Wonder’s 2.09%.
Introducing the Arena Alignment Index, our new benchmark measuring safety and alignment of AI agents in real-world use.
Built from 90K+ real-world agent sessions across 27 models, the index measures three critical signals:

Excited to announce Day 0 support for Reflection's Beam model on Ray Serve LLM!
Beam is Reflection's first open-weight model, advancing the frontier of Western AI in the 500B-parameter class. Built as a sparse MoE model, Beam is optimized for coding, agentic workloads, and
Beam from @reflection_ai is free on AI Gateway for a limited time.
Until today it ran in stealth as 𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚑/𝚌𝚊𝚝-𝚓𝚊𝚖. It's a low-latency US open-weight model.

Reflection AI’s Beam 1.0 is out today, a 501B MoE with 23B active under Apache 2.0. We ran a brief RL post-training run on it in AC2 that tripled its score on a challenging long-horizon agentic coding task in 40 steps, 0.07 to 0.215.
We’re offering day 0 support in AC2 for inference and post-training.
Beam is now available across platforms, with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license - in collaboration with an ecosystem of 40+ partners.
We're releasing:
- Weights, tokenizer, and reference implementation
- BF16, FP8 and NVFP4 weights and a DFlash2 drafter
- The open source
America’s next top model, Reflection’s Beam, is now live on Together AI.

Reflection Beam is now available on Modal.
Beam is a 501B-parameter open-weight MoE (23B active) from @reflection_ai built for coding, agentic workflows, and reasoning. It supports a 1M token context window, with token efficiency a core focus.
In early access, the Oura Health Intelligence team found that "Beam had fewer context leaks and was much more grounded in its answers than other frontier models we evaluated.”
🎉 Reflection-Beam-1.0 from @reflection_ai has Day-0 support in vLLM.
501B total parameters, 23B active per token, and a 1M-token context window. Beam combines hybrid attention with Harmony-format reasoning and tool use.
Beam also has Day-0 RL support in SkyRL (@NovaSkyAI): LoRA, BF16 full fine-tuning and MXFP8 RL, with vLLM rollouts.
We worked with @reflection_ai and @Inferact on the serving path, from fused kernels to DFlash. Here is what is under the hood. 🧵

Reflection's Beam is available on Nebius Token Factory from Day 0
Reflection’s first open-weight model is built for coding agents, advanced reasoning, software engineering, and autonomous agentic workflows.
Put it to work fixing bugs, refactoring code and using tools.
Try it out today: tokenfactory.nebius.com/?modals=endpoi…
We are thrilled to serve @reflection_ai's first open-weight model, Beam, on day 0.
At 500B parameters, Beam is optimized for the frontier workloads in the enterprise today: writing and maintaining code, executing long-horizon, multi-step tasks with tools.
Check it out on Baseten Model APIs: baseten.co/library/beam/
During @reflection_ai’s private preview of Beam, I built a haunted escape room to put its coding and reasoning to the test.
I created a game called “Code Your Way Out”, and it's one room with three linked puzzles. Beam has to repair a brass orrery by lining its rings up with a constellation, route the light, then program its escape through a sealed hatch.
Beam never sees the room. Each turn, it gets text observations and writes Python; the code runs in a @CoreWeave Sandbox, and the game engine validates every action before the explorer robot moves.
Beam was out in about 30 seconds. Super bullish on this model and really excited to see builders get this model in their hands.
