• Abstract summary: Reka models are able to process and reason with text, images, video, and audio inputs. We show that Reka Edge and Reka Flash are not only state-of-the-art but also outperform many much larger models. Our most capable and largest model, Reka Core, approaches the best frontier models on both automatic evaluations and blind human evaluations.

• Abstract: We introduce Reka Core, Flash, and Edge, a series of powerful multimodal language models trained from scratch by Reka. Reka models are able to process and reason with text, images, video, and audio inputs. This technical report discusses details of training some of these models and provides comprehensive evaluation results. We show that Reka Edge and Reka Flash are not only state-of-the-art but also outperform many much larger models, delivering outsized values for their respective compute class. Meanwhile, our most capable and largest model, Reka Core, approaches the best frontier models on both automatic evaluations and blind human evaluations. On image question answering benchmarks (e.g. MMMU, VQAv2), Core performs competitively to GPT4-V. Meanwhile, on multimodal chat, Core ranks as the second most preferred model under a blind third-party human evaluation setup, outperforming other models such as Claude 3 Opus. On text benchmarks, Core not only performs competitively to other frontier models on a set of well-established benchmarks (e.g. MMLU, GSM8K) but also outperforms GPT4-0613 on human evaluation. On video question answering (Perception-Test), Core outperforms Gemini Ultra. Models are shipped in production at http://chat.reka.ai . A showcase of non cherry picked qualitative examples can also be found at http://showcase.reka.ai .

  We introduce Multimodal RewardBench, an expert-annotated benchmark for evaluating multimodal reward models. Our dataset comprises 5,211 annotated (prompt, chosen response, rejected response) triplets collected from various vision-language models. We find that even the top-performing models, Gemini 1.5 Pro and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, achieve only 72% overall accuracy.

  In this paper, we bring a recently developed evaluation paradigm from text models to multimodal models. We define games that challenge a model's capability to represent a situation from visual information and align such representations through dialogue. We find that the largest closed models perform rather well on the games that we define, while even the best open-weight models struggle with them.

  We propose a unified framework for composing ensembles of different pre-trained models. We use pre-trained models as "generators" or "scorers" and compose them via closed-loop iterative consensus optimization. We demonstrate that consensus achieved by an ensemble of scorers outperforms the feedback of a single scorer.
