About Reka Flash 3
Reka Flash 3 is Reka's mid-2025 open-weight reasoning model. Apache-2.0 licensed, with built-in thinking-mode tokens that let it spend more compute on hard problems before producing a final answer.
For research workflows and self-hosted deployments where reasoning capability is the constraint, Reka Flash 3 is one of the more accessible options in the open-weight reasoning category, smaller than DeepSeek-R1 and easier to fine-tune.
