No REKI is a research-grade 2.4B vision-language-action model whose contribution depends on large-scale pretraining on curated robot and human data and GPU training runs. Vibe coding can't produce the model or the novel memory architecture.
What it would actually take: Assemble a VLM backbone with a flow-matching action expert and a register-token memory design, then pretrain on a curated mixture of public robot, egocentric, and vision-language datasets. The real cost is compute (many GPU-days) plus ML research expertise for architecture design, data curation, and evaluation on LIBERO, RoboTwin, and real hardware such as a UR5 arm.
