Reka collapses multimodal stacks with 19B omni-reasoning model Rho-1
Reka just unveiled a research preview of Rho-1, a 19B model trained from scratch to handle text, vision, and robotic action tokens in one network. Instead of delegating tasks across specialized pipelines, it keeps an evolving world state inside a single KV cache. Why it matters: it eliminates handoff latency and enables real-time, interactive video simulation.
