Reka AI, founded by a dozen former Google DeepMind scientists, has unveiled its first open-source model: Reka Flash 3. This 21-billion parameter inference model has garnered significant attention. Despite its relatively smaller parameter count, Reka Flash 3 is a general-purpose reasoning model trained from scratch. It underwent supervised fine-tuning on synthetic and public datasets and further refinement through model-based techniques.

Recently, the domestic large model DeepSeek V3 has drawn industry attention due to its outstanding performance in the AI arena. As the only open-source model to break into the top ten, it not only surpassed o1-mini but even exceeded Claude 3.5 Sonnet in various fields, including programming and mathematics. To verify its actual capabilities, a series of comparative tests were conducted. In the basic comprehension ability test, both models exhibited different characteristics. Faced with the Chinese riddle 'Xiaoming's mother has three children', DeepSeek V3 performed...
