Our take
Reka's bet is true multimodality - models that treat video and audio as seriously as text - paired with two GA agentic products: Vision for visual/video search and Research for grounded Q&A. The founding team and $1B valuation lend credibility. It is developer- and enterprise-facing with a free playground but no transparent public pricing, so it is more platform than polished app.
Best for
Enterprises and developers that need to search, analyse or answer questions over video, images and audio - not just text - through a single multimodal API.
Pros
- Natively understands video, images and audio, not just text
- Model range from 1B edge to 67B flagship for different workloads
- Vision and Research agentic products now generally available
- Founded by ex-DeepMind/Google Brain/Baidu researchers; ~$1B valuation
Cons
- Developer/enterprise-oriented rather than a consumer-ready app
- No transparent public pricing beyond the free playground
- Newer ecosystem than the largest foundation-model labs
How it compares
Against text-first assistants and research tools like Perplexity or Elicit, Reka's edge is genuine multimodal understanding - searching and reasoning over video and audio - rather than retrieval over documents and the web.

Streamlit
Open-source Python framework for building and sharing interactive data and AI/ML apps with minimal front-end code.
Langfuse
Langfuse is an open-source AI engineering platform for building and operating LLM applications. It brings together observability and tracing, evaluations, prompt management, datasets, an annotation workflow and a prompt playground, and integrates with OpenTelemetry, LangChain, the OpenAI SDK, LiteLLM and more. A Y Combinator (W23) company, it moved every product feature to the MIT license in 2025, so the only commercial pieces are thin enterprise-compliance add-ons such as SCIM, audit logs and project-level RBAC. The cloud free tier covers 50,000 units a month, with a $29/month Core plan for production traffic and higher tiers for longer retention and SOC 2/ISO reports. In January 2026 ClickHouse acquired Langfuse and publicly committed to keeping the MIT license and avoiding new pricing gates.
