Reka pricing notes.
AI//COST first added Reka after verifying the public pricing page on 2026-06-14.
Reka offers Chat, Research, and Vision APIs. The public pricing table separates text token costs from image, video, and audio meters; AI//COST tracks the text-token rates for the chat models first.
The official docs list reka-flash and reka-edge as baseline public chat models, while the pricing page also lists Reka Core as the higher-capability tier.

SAFETY LABAnthropic
Claude is the major enterprise comparator for agentic and document-heavy workloads.
OPEN-WEIGHTAlibaba (Qwen)
Qwen provides low-cost open and proprietary options for text and code workloads.
CHINA CONSUMER LEADERByteDance (Doubao)
The Doubao model family from ByteDance — parent of TikTok and Douyin. Served through the Volcano Ark (火山方舟) platform on ByteDance's Volcano Engine cloud, Doubao powers China's most-used consumer AI app and undercuts most frontier labs on price.
EU FRONTIER LABMistral AI
The Paris lab behind Le Chat and the open-weight Mistral family. Founded in 2023 by Arthur Mensch with ex-DeepMind and Meta researchers, it ships frontier-grade models with Apache-2.0 open weights for most tiers and EU-native data residency — the leading European alternative to US labs.
GLM ARCHITECTZhipu (Z.ai / GLM)
The Beijing lab behind the GLM models, also operating internationally as Z.ai. Spun out of Tsinghua University in 2019, Zhipu ships strong coding/agentic models, multiple free tiers, and open weights — and was the first of China's "Six Tigers" to pursue an IPO. It also sits on the US Entity List.
