Reflection AI, a Brooklyn-based startup backed by Nvidia, has introduced Beam as its first frontier open-weight model.

The company says Beam competes with mainstream open-source models on advanced reasoning benchmarks while dramatically reducing token costs and inference compute compared with rivals.

Beam is a text-only mixture-of-experts model trained with high‑compute reinforcement learning and is designed for reasoning, coding, and agent tasks.

Beam comprises 501 billion total parameters, with 23 billion active parameters. It was pretrained on 23.8 trillion tokens and features a context window of up to 1 million tokens.

Reflection notes that its performance claims have not been independently verified, but says Beam scores on par with Z-ai’s GLM-5.2 on advanced reasoning benchmarks, outperforms current mainstream Western open-source models, and requires three to four times less inference compute. The company positions Beam as a flagship model for enterprises, the public sector, and developers.

In August, euro area retail turnover rose 0.1% on the month, reversing July's 0.6% decline, according to Eurostat data cited by Sina Finance. Economists had expected a 0.3% gain.

Sales of food, beverages and other non-fuel goods edged higher, with Germany showing a notable improvement in August.

Fuel sales fell 1.9% from July as oil prices rose during the month.

Capital Economics' Harry Chambers noted that fuel purchases may fall again if oil prices rise further in September, pointing to Brent crude briefly rising above $105 a barrel.

On a year-over-year basis, August sales were 0.8% higher than a year earlier. Chambers cautioned that consumer spending is likely to stay resilient but cool from the brisk pace recorded in Q2.

Pantheon Macroeconomics' Claus Vistesen argued the data imply weaker retail consumption in the current quarter, with July and August averaging about 0.3% below Q2. He also suggested that the retail figures underestimate overall consumer strength, citing strong car sales and resilient services spending.

Bitcoin Treasuries data indicate that Strategy has overtaken Rumble in market capitalization, while Strive has climbed ahead of more than 140 public companies in the past month.

For firms pursuing this approach, market capitalization remains highly sensitive to movements in the Bitcoin price and to the premium or discount investors assign to their BTC holdings.

The European Commission aims to complete a full revision of its tax reporting framework by the end of this year, with a separate simplification bill to be advanced for approval by 2027.

Benjamin Angel, director of the EC's Direct Taxation Department, spoke during an online conference hosted by the U.S. branch of the International Fiscal Association.

The simplification proposal would relieve large multinational groups from complying with certain EU anti-tax-avoidance rules and is expected to be approved by the end of 2027.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has approved Boeing to produce and deliver 35 additional 777F freighters, enabling airworthiness certificates to be issued under the 2028 emissions rules. The waiver extends through December 31, 2030 and covers only the 35 newly built aircraft, Sina Finance reported.

Under the approved plan, Boeing may request original airworthiness certificates for up to 35 777Fs beginning January 1, 2028. The article notes Boeing expects to complete the batch in about 18 months at a production pace of roughly two aircraft per month.

The waiver does not provide a long-term exemption from emissions standards. Existing 777Fs are not affected, and the rules apply only to airplanes first certified from 2028 onward.

The framework relies on ICAO carbon certification standards. Some subsonic jets must meet new fuel-efficiency and greenhouse-gas thresholds from 2028, and the current 777F would otherwise have had to stop production by the end of 2027.

Reform UK is reportedly proposing a 10% capital gains tax on crypto investments, a move that would reduce the annual tax take by about £100 million. Current rates are 24% for higher-rate taxpayers and 18% for basic-rate taxpayers.

Tax experts warned that such cuts could have a negative impact on the UK economy.
