Reka launches Nexus, an AI workforce powered by its state-of-the-art multimodal reasoning model

NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Reka, a leader in AI research, today announces the launch of Reka Nexus, an AI platform that enables businesses to scale efficiently by enabling the creation and management of AI workers that automates workflows and streamline operations.  Powered by Reka’s latest multimodal reasoning model, Reka Flash, Nexus represents the future of AI-driven enterprise automation.

 

Introducing Nexus: the AI workforce powering the future of work

Introducing Nexus: the AI workforce powering the future of work

We spend a significant portion of our time on administrative and repetitive tasks, limiting our ability to focus on creative and strategic work. Nexus improves enterprise efficiency and increases productivity by enabling humans to partner with AI workers which can be customized to specialize in different tasks such as conducting deep topic research, processing invoices, and generating sales leads. In this partnership, human employees can focus on management and delegations, while an AI workforce performs low-level tasks. Nexus workers have native capabilities to search through internal documents, browse the web, write and execute code, and analyze contents from various multimodal data (PDF, videos, images, audio).

“Nexus represents the future of AI-driven workforce, allowing organizations to automate repetitive tasks and focus on more meaningful problems. We are excited to bring the benefits of Nexus to large enterprises and small and medium businesses,” said Dani Yogatama, Co-founder and CEO of Reka. “At Reka, we use Nexus extensively to help us manage our sales, recruitment, and operations pipelines.”

How Nexus works

Nexus is built on top of Reka’s models that are trained from scratch for multimodal reasoning with proprietary algorithms. At the core of Nexus is Reka Flash, a state-of-the-art 21 billion parameter model that can be deployed on-premise and on-device with quantization support.

Trained from scratch and instruction tuned using proprietary synthetic and open-source datasets, it was further improved using reinforcement learning with both model-based and rule-based rewards to enable transparent reasoning outputs. As a result, Nexus workers can provide human-readable execution traces and thinking process, enhancing transparency for auditing.

Reka Flash achieves market-leading performance for turbo-class models on standard benchmarks. It performs competitively with proprietary models, making it a good foundation to build many applications that require secure and low-latency deployments.

Scaling AI for the Enterprise

With Nexus, Reka is setting a new standard for AI-driven enterprise automation. Backed by its latest funding, the company is accelerating its research and go-to-market efforts to push the boundaries of multimodal AI and deliver scalable, intelligent automation for businesses worldwide.

To celebrate the impact of fitness on women’s lives, RITFIT highlighted inspiring stories from its brand ambassadors. Nanzie Acosta, a stay-at-home mom, found empowerment through weightlifting. “Between reps and sets, the world goes silent, and all I focus on is breathing. Fitness makes me a better mother, wife, and person, and I hope my journey inspires other women to discover their strength beyond societal expectations.” Kiaya Jackson, a two-time PGF champion, shares, “As a RITFIT ambassador, I’m excited to represent a brand that provides athletes with the tools to elevate their training. With the right equipment and support, anyone can build both physical and mental strength.”

Beyond fitness, RITFIT is dedicated to making health and strength accessible to all. The brand has led various philanthropic efforts for different groups.

CrowdStrike Awarded with Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Company of the Year Award for SaaS Security Posture Management Leadership

CrowdStrike Falcon® Shield delivers industry-leading protection and control over SaaS misconfigurations, identities and threats – unifying hybrid identity protection

SAN ANTONIO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan has recognized CrowdStrike with its 2024 Company of the Year Award for Best Practices in SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM). This recognition reaffirms CrowdStrike Falcon® Shield as the industry’s leading SSPM solution, delivering unmatched protection for SaaS identities, configurations and data – stopping SaaS breaches and empowering businesses to unify hybrid identity protection on the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform.

Today’s adversaries increasingly exploit identities and cloud environments as trusted entry points, as 79% of initial access attacks are now malware-free. These cross-domain attacks exploit complex hybrid environments and fragmented security tools that leave gaps in protecting on-premises Active Directory (AD), cloud-based identity providers and the growing landscape of SaaS applications. Falcon Shield provides best-in-class security posture management and threat protection across SaaS identities, misconfigurations and data. With Falcon Shield unifying into the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike can empower organizations to secure every part of modern hybrid environments – at every stage of the full attack lifecycle – from initial access to lateral movement, all through a single, unified platform.

“With Falcon Shield, CrowdStrike’s deep understanding of customer pain points and its ability to address the existing technology gap in the SaaS security space truly stand out,” said Ying Ting Neoh, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Its strategic alliances, along with its comprehensive and scalable SSPM solution, enhance customer support and lower total cost of ownership, providing long-term cost-effectiveness compared to market participants offering piecemeal solutions that lack integrations. These advantages have fostered a positive customer purchase, ownership, and service experience. This is a leading reason we also named CrowdStrike the leader in the 2024 Frost Radar™ for SaaS Security Posture Management.”

According to Frost & Sullivan’s authoritative report, CrowdStrike Falcon Shield stands out in the following areas:

  • Comprehensive SaaS Security: Falcon Shield secures more than 150 SaaS applications, protecting both human and non-human identities (NHI) from being exploited in an attack. With deep risk correlation between devices and SaaS applications, along with proactive misconfiguration management, organizations gain complete visibility and control over their SaaS environments.
  • Unified Hybrid Identity and Cloud Security: The powerful combination of Falcon Shield and Falcon® Identity Protection delivers proactive security and advanced identity threat detection and response (ITDR), securing every stage of identity-based attacks across every part of modern hybrid environments – from on-premises Active Directory to cloud-based identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID and Okta, and SaaS applications. The integration with CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security will provide unified protection for cloud infrastructure, apps, data, AI models and SaaS all from a single console.
  • GenAI Security Control: Falcon Shield continuously monitors SaaS environments to detect configuration changes, prevent data leakage from misconfigured AI settings and uncover unauthorized AI applications. By enabling risk-based access controls, organizations can ensure AI tools are securely managed and aligned with enterprise security policies.
  • Automated SaaS Remediation: With Falcon Shield and Falcon Fusion SOAR, organizations can automate the remediation of high-risk misconfigurations, reducing risk exposure and maintaining compliance across SaaS environments. Bidirectional integrations into ticketing systems and step-by-step remediation guidance empowers security teams to resolve issues faster and more efficiently.

“SaaS applications are prime targets for today’s adversaries, and security teams can no longer rely on fragmented solutions to stay protected,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. “With Falcon Shield, CrowdStrike delivers the industry’s most complete SaaS security posture management and threat protection while securing every area of modern hybrid environments, at every stage of the attack. Frost & Sullivan’s recognition of Falcon Shield reinforces our leadership in SSPM and our commitment to securing global organizations against evolving threats.”
