Beam 1.0 Is Free in OpenCode and Command Code

Beam 1.0 is now available for free in OpenCode and Command Code. It’s a reasoning model for coding and agent workflows, with a context window of up to 1 million tokens. Command Code model page (opens in a new tab) · Reflection’s announcement (opens in a new tab).

How good is it? There’s no verified, apples-to-apples benchmark here showing Beam beats comparable coding models. Early OpenCode community feedback (opens in a new tab) is mixed, including reports of incorrect commands and unwanted file changes. These are individual reports, not controlled tests.

Budget impact: Free access makes Beam worth testing before paying for another model. Command Code says access is available across its plans and subscriptions, subject to availability. A huge context window can help with large codebases, but doesn’t guarantee correct output. Check the current access terms before relying on it.

Verdict: worth a controlled test, not blind trust. Try a small task, inspect every diff and run tests. Compare it against a model you already use, counting fixes and retries—not just price.
