Overview

AISummary of 4 articles

Reflection AI says its first model, Beam, declines 89% of harmful requests and responds to 82% of safety-related harmless requests in its own tests, the highest refusal rate among the Western and Chinese open-weight models it evaluated.

The company published a blog post on how it trained and evaluated Beam for safety, and describes the methodology behind the results as its Open Safety Framework, covering systemic risks, refusal behavior and adversarial robustness.

The tests were built by Reflection under its Iris Safety Evaluations, which check whether Beam's responses follow its safety policy in adversarial and agentic settings across cyber offense, chemical, biological, and radiological/nuclear categories. Reflection says it will release more safety research, evaluations and tools under Project Iris in the coming weeks. These are the company's own results, and no independent evaluation is cited.
