Open source model signals
2026-10-06 · reviewer verdict: pass (confidence 0.7) · run 6525274c
Recommendation: more_evidence. Ranked list (RANKED models only, most corroborated first): 1. Beam, count 1, confidence: noise/unconfirmed. Statuses: Beam is RANKED, count 1, because S2 states it is open-weight and carries the page date Oct 6, 2026. Kolibri-1 is EXCLUDED: open-weights status unverified, because S1 supports text states neither a licence nor a weights link. Kimi K3 is EXCLUDED: publication date unverified, because S3 supports text gives only directory listing dates, not a release date. Only 1 RANKED model and 1 qualifying source (S2) remain, against the minimums of 2 models and 3 sources. No Reddit or Hacker News page was fetched, so no community-sentiment signal is reported.

What people are saying
- S2 presents Beam as a 501B open-weight coding model on a page dated Oct 6, 2026; this is one source, so noise/unconfirmed. [S2]
Caveats
- Beam: RANKED, count 1. S2 supports text does not state a licence, a weights link or Beam's release date, only the page date Oct 6, 2026; licence/date from secondary source only: S2. No lab, Hugging Face or GitHub page for Beam was fetched.
- Kolibri-1: EXCLUDED: open-weights status unverified (qualifying count 0). S1 supports text does not state a licence/date; it failed gate 1.
- Kimi K3: EXCLUDED: publication date unverified (qualifying count 0). S3 supports text states open-weight but gives only listing dates (Added/Updated Oct 6, 2026), so whether the model was released inside the window is unverified. A search snippet, which is not a source, pointed to an earlier launch.
- Could not open https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3: fetch denied because the URL was not returned by a prior web_search in this run. S1 at https://huggingface.co/Aleph-Alpha/Kolibri-1 opened successfully.
- Fetched https://www.datacamp.com/blog/aleph-alpha-kolibri-1: no usable body. S2 at https://www.datacamp.com/blog/reflection-ai-beam is a different datacamp.com URL that returned a usable body.
- No Reddit (r/LocalLLaMA, r/MachineLearning, r/OpenSource) or Hacker News page was fetched, so no model has 2 independent sources and no community sentiment is reported.
- Tool results carried no retrieved_at field, so source retrieved_at values record the date only. Publication dates come from supports text only.
- Economics fields are zero placeholders with no sourced pricing, cost or demand data and must not be read as validated.
