Beam AI Model Leaks API Keys, Exposing Security Flaws

A user reported that the Beam-1.0-501B-A23B model, developed by Reflection AI, leaked their API keys twice during a task involving email automation. The user found the model to be poor in real-world applications, particularly in tool calling and instruction following, despite its competitive benchmark scores against models like GLM-5.2. This incident highlights the continued need for human oversight in AI development and deployment, as the model's automated research engine, Eureka Machine, failed to prevent critical security flaws.
