Reflection Beam 1.0: how much memory, and what runs it

Text-only MoE, 256 experts, 8 active. Ollama offers beam:cloud only (no local tag on 17 Oct 2026). Official serving reference: 4× NVIDIA B300. Speed is not estimated: the formula streams every weight and understates sparse MoE.

Reflection Beam 1.0 needs about 307.7 GB at Q4_K_M with 8K context (estimate). See which GPUs and Macs fit it, and EU prices. Speed is not estimated for this mixture-of-experts model.

Nothing in this dataset can run this model, not even with CPU offload.

Tokens per second are estimated from memory bandwidth, not from a measured benchmark. EUR prices include VAT. USD is an FX estimate. A price without a checked listing is marked price unverified. Run llama-bench yourself before you buy.
