Reka AI has released a research preview of Rho-1, a 19B-parameter omni model that understands and generates text, images, video, and robot actions within a single neural network.
The team frames it as their first attempt to prove that unified omni world models are the future of AI — replacing separate planners and world models with one set of weights spanning perception, prediction, and actuation.
