Reka: Reka Flash 3

Reka Flash 3 is a general-purpose, instruction-tuned large language model with 21 billion parameters, developed by Reka. It excels at general chat, coding tasks, instruction-following, and function calling. Featuring a 32K context length and optimized through reinforcement learning (RLOO), it provides competitive performance comparable to proprietary models within a smaller parameter footprint. Ideal for low-latency, local, or on-device deployments, Reka Flash 3 is compact, supports efficient quantization (down to 11GB at 4-bit precision), and employs explicit reasoning tags ("") to indicate its internal thought process. Reka Flash 3 is primarily an English model with limited multilingual understanding capabilities. The model weights are released under the Apache 2.0 license.
