Künstliche Intelligenz: Reflection AI stellt offenes KI-Modell vor
Das US-Start-up will mit seinem Modell Beam gegen die großen KI-Entwickler antreten. Dabei bekommt das Unternehmen finanzielle Rückendeckung von einem Chipriesen.
New York - Artificial intelligence startup Reflection AI has unveiled a novel model capable of competing with leading offerings from the United States and China, the company announced. Founded by former researchers from Google's DeepMind subsidiary, the model named 'Beam' is designed to deliver strong performance in programming tasks and AI agents for corporate clients and developers while being more cost-effective than many competitors.
Reflection claimed that Beam performs similarly to GLM-5.2, a leading open model from Chinese AI provider Z.AI, on complex reasoning benchmarks. The company intends to release further technical details later this month. Chinese providers such as DeepSeek and Moonshot AI recently showcased more affordable and adaptable open models, while major US companies like OpenAI and Anthropic focus primarily on closed or proprietary offerings while expanding their enterprise client base.
Funding comes from Nvidia, with prior reports from the Wall Street Journal indicating that Reflection has been in talks for a $2.5 billion financing round valued at $25 billion. Additionally, the startup has secured billion-dollar deals with SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, and cloud provider Nebius to secure computational resources for model development.
