Elorian
(Palo Alto, CA)
Palo Alto visual-AI startup led by ex-Google DeepMind researcher Andrew Dai; first model Glimpse reasons by inspecting and rewatching pixels in a visual scratch space. Raised $55M at a $300M valuation (Menlo, Altimeter, NVIDIA).
What is the latest AI model from Elorian?
Elorian's primary flagship model is Glimpse (Undisclosed (substantially smaller than frontier models; post-trained on an open-weights base), 262,144 tokens context). Elorian's first visual-thinking foundation model: reasons from pixels via a visual scratch space (crops into regions, rewatches intervals at denser fps, runs measuring code) instead of describing images then reasoning in text; beats or matches GPT-6 Astra on scientific chart reasoning (CharXiv-R 92.9) and short-form video captioning (UGC-VideoCap 82.66) at $0.60/$3.00 per 1M tokens - 94% below Astra; launched Oct 16, 2026 as a research preview by the ex-DeepMind Palo Alto startup.
