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. The post Reka ...

JEPA-Anything splits a JEPA's single latent target into 4 orthogonal factors, each with its own predictor. Tested across 7 domains, it beat matched JEPA baselines on all 10 dynamics tasks and cut Interventional Pong intervention error by 34.8%. The post Beyond Domain-Specific World Models: JEPA-Anyt...

Together AI has released Together Link, a free, MIT-licensed CLI that connects Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, and the Claude and ChatGPT desktop apps to open models like Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3. One install command sets it up, and an Auto router picks a model for each session. Together claims savings...

Discover how to construct an end-to-end streaming robotics learning pipeline using the NVIDIA Cosmos3-DROID dataset without local downloads, leveraging byte-range Parquet reads, behavior cloning, and temporal ensembling. The post Building a Streaming Robotics Learning Pipeline Using NVIDIA Cosmos3-D...

Reflection AI has introduced Beam, its first open-weight model. It is a 501B sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with 23B active parameters, built for coding and agentic work. Reflection says it matches GLM-5.2 on reasoning with 3 to 4x less inference compute. Apache 2.0 weights are due later in October...

Nvidia-backed Reflection AI unveils Beam, its first open-weight model, which it says rivals GLM-5.2 on reasoning with far less inference compute. Weights are due this month.
