Reka Open-Sources RIDM, Extracting Camera and Motor Commands from Raw Video

RekaAILabs · x · 2026-10-02

Reka AI released its Inverse Dynamics Model (RIDM), a compact model that extracts low-level camera/motor commands directly from raw video. Motivation: standard simulated environments lack real-world physics and noise, and interactive world models need video labeled with low-level actions that real footage rarely has. RIDM was trained entirely on video games yet generalizes to real-world footage. Weights are open-sourced under Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face, with a research note accompanying the release.
