DeepSeek y GLM Reflection AI sale del stealth con Beam

DeepSeek · 06.10.2026

Reflection AI has introduced Beam, a new AI model with 501 billion parameters. Designed as a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), the open-weight model aims to provide a Western alternative to Chinese models like DeepSeek. It was trained in four weeks on 6,144 Nvidia GPUs.

Gemma 4

Google / Gemini · 06.10.2026

Google released EmbeddingGemma 2, an open model with 740 million parameters that converts text, images, video, audio, and code into vectors. It runs on-device, needs only about 191 MB of RAM, and outperforms some competing models twice its size, according to Google. Paired with a small open model like Gemma 4, it can run offline RAG apps without sending data to external servers.

GLM 5.2

DeepSeek · 06.10.2026

Reflection has released Beam, its first open-weight model. The mixture-of-experts system activates just 23 billion of its 501 billion parameters per token and aims to match GLM 5.2 on coding and reasoning while using three to four times less compute. The strategy against Chinese open-weight rivals like Deepseek and Qwen is efficiency over raw performance.

How CheckCom classifies these signals

The Release Radar combines news signals, the model catalog, newly detected catalog entries and pricing-radar signals. An entry does not automatically mean that a model is production-ready, legally cleared or fully price-confirmed. CheckCom therefore marks source, signal type, pricing relevance, local/quantized hints and catalog matching.

  • Confirmed: strong source or catalog match available.
  • Candidate: detected from news; primary source or catalog match should still be checked.
  • Pricing-relevant: the item contains price, API, token, availability or billing signals.
  • Local / quantized: hints for open weights, GGUF, Ollama, quantization or edge hardware.

Additional detail reports

For customers, these data can be turned into detailed provider, model, pricing and migration reports. The public page shows a condensed market view; internal raw data and full candidate lists are not offered as public downloads.
