Reka AI releases Rho-1, a 19B omni-model for text, images, video and robot control

Reka AI published a research preview of Rho-1, a 19-billion-parameter omni-model that processes and generates text, images, continuous video, and robot control actions inside a single neural network using a shared token context without external tool calls. The model was trained on about 320 H100 GPUs over roughly three months and uses an inverse dynamics approach to extract control signals from ordinary internet videos so the same weights can drive both camera prediction and robot movements.

Sakana AI hires Jürgen Schmidhuber as Chief Scientific Advisor

Tokyo-based startup Sakana AI has hired Jürgen Schmidhuber as Chief Scientific Advisor to help steer its new RSI lab, which aims to build a self-reinforcing research loop and advance projects like the Darwin Gödel Machine and The AI Scientist. Sakana credits Schmidhuber's early work on deep learning, world models, and meta-learning as influential to its focus on physical, world-model–based autonomous systems.
