The honest brief
Reka Vision
Backed by a frontier multimodal lab's own models — natively built for video/image reasoning, not bolted onto a text LLM.
- Natural-language search over video archives
- Auto highlights, clips, temporal Q&A
- Runs on Reka's own multimodal models
- API, MCP, or hosted app delivery
- Sales-led, demo-gated access
- Enterprise pricing, not self-serve
- Newer product, smaller ecosystem
TwelveLabs
Video-native foundation models (Marengo, Pegasus) understand motion and events directly, not by captioning sampled frames into a text LLM.
- Marengo embeddings + Pegasus generation
- Natural-language search over video
- Index once, run many tasks
- Free tier with usage pricing
- Clean developer API
- Proprietary, closed models
- Cloud-only, no self-host
- Usage costs scale with video volume
