Reka Core API Pricing

Deprecated: Reka moved its prices to a model catalog at developer.reka.ai between August and October 2026, and Reka Core is not in it — the catalog's own Reka models are Reka Edge 2603 and Reka Flash 3. Reka Core was Reka's superior chat model for complex tasks. The last published pricing row listed $2/M input and $6/M output. Read from docs.reka.ai before the move.

§ 03 / TOKENIZER

Reka Core token counter and cost.

What's a token →
Estimate · reka-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.85 chars/token Auto-counts as you type

This is a chars-per-token approximation, not a real tokenizer. Actual tokens vary by language, code density, and tool-call overhead — counts are typically ±10–20% off for English prose, more for code or non-Latin scripts. For exact billing, use the vendor's official tokenizer.

Reka Core API pricing FAQ.

Practical Reka Core pricing questions, with public list prices separated from assumptions and add-on fees.

Q · 01 Is Reka Core still available? +
Not as a listed product. Reka now publishes prices in a model catalog at developer.reka.ai instead of a pricing table, and as of October 28, 2026 Reka Core is neither in that catalog nor in the model list of Reka's API documentation. Reka has published no shutdown notice we could find, so this page keeps the last price Reka listed for reference. Reka's own models in the catalog are Reka Edge 2603 and Reka Flash 3.
Q · 02 What is Reka Core priced at? +
Reka Core is listed at $2/M input and $6/M output on Reka's pricing page as last published (verified 2026-06-14, still there in August 2026).
Q · 03 Is prompt caching priced separately? +
No separate cache-read token price is published for this row. AI//COST keeps cached input equal to the base input price, $2/M, instead of inventing a discount.
Q · 04 How is the effective price calculated? +
The effective tile uses AI//COST's standard 92/8 input-output blend. With no public cache discount, Reka Core's token-only blended price is $2.32/M.
Q · 05 Does this include every possible fee? +
Yes for text tokens. Non-text meters, private deployments, enterprise contracts, and any custom dedicated-capacity plans are outside this page unless the vendor publishes them as token prices.
Q · 06 Are there free trials or production keys? +
The vendor may offer account credits or trial access, but AI//COST only stores public list prices. Check the linked vendor console for account-specific credits and rate limits.
Q · 07 Which API model ID should I use? +
The model was called as reka-core. As of October 28, 2026 that ID is not in the model list of Reka's API documentation, and Reka Core is not in Reka's model catalog at developer.reka.ai; Reka's own models there are reka-edge-2603 and reka-flash-3.
