Reka AI releases research preview of omni model Rho-1

On 6 October 2026, Reka AI released a research preview of Rho-1, a 19-billion-parameter omni model that can process and generate text, images, video and robotic control actions within a single neural network. According to the report, unlike most systems that dispatch tasks to specialised models, Rho-1 runs all modalities as tokens in the same shared context window, requires no tool calls or external models, and can generate continuous video in real time and respond to new instructions without restarting. The model is currently at the research preview stage, and the report did not disclose further release details or future plans.
