## AI overview

Reka introduced Rho-1, a 19-billion-parameter model that processes and generates text, images, video, and robot actions in one network. Its two expert streams share attention and a KV cache; a distilled version reportedly creates a 5.3-second video clip in about a second. The model is available as a research preview, with no public weights, API, or pricing yet.

## Source excerpt

Reka has released Rho-1, a 19B omni-reasoning model trained from scratch. One network reads and generates text, images, video and robot actions over a shared KV cache. A distilled variant returns a 5.3-second clip in about a second. It is a research preview with no public weights yet.
