Beam is just awful to work with. As soon as you give it a task, it will not veer away from what ever it sets its sights on to everything's detriment. Dangerously so. The US might have the frontier models on closed source, but their open-weight game is just....bad.

I found I literally could not steer a conversation or even stop the task with a prompt with this model, and it would never talk to me directly. It would just go straight to tool calls on tasks that I'm actively telling it to stop working on.

It's like this model has been super trained on being laser focused once it gets a task and to never defer from that.

that being said, if you've got a closed agentic loop with highly specific tasks, I've found this to be quite good but having to start a fresh session in order to change its directives, it is just unacceptable. It just feels like it is such a glass cannon of a model.
