rauchh retweets that Reflection's Beam is free on its site until November 12, pitched as American open weights with zero data retention.
The linked project fx is a minimalist open-source (Apache-2.0) coding agent harness/CLI written in Zig: a 5.97 MiB binary (v0.0.16, experimental) with no background service, supporting single-shot requests via fx ask, WebAssembly/browser execution via libfx, context-efficient tool schemas, embeddability with custom tools, skills and MCP servers, and model/provider agnostic inference (local models, gateways, or direct API).
