Elorian
An AI startup focused on vision-native reasoning architectures, which advocates using images directly as the medium of reasoning rather than translating images into text.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Elorian is a new team based in Palo Alto, and founder Andrew Dai was formerly CEO of Google DeepMind.
Glimpse is Elorian's first model, released as a research preview with both an API and a chat interface.
Elorian released its first model, Glimpse, on October 16, positioned as a research preview and focused on visual thinking.
Glimpse is priced on Elorian's own platform at $600,000 per million input tokens and $3,000,000 per million output tokens.
Elorian claims that Glimpse's pricing is 94% cheaper than GPT-6 Astra's $10/$50.
The 12-row benchmark table released by Elorian shows that Glimpse won 4 rows, tied 1, and lost 6 against GPT-6 Astra, with Astra having no score in 1 additional row.
Elorian is a startup based in Palo Alto, and according to TechCrunch, it raised a $55 million seed round with a $300 million valuation before it had a product, with investors including Nvidia and Google's Jeff Dean.
Elorian CEO Andrew Dai was formerly a researcher at Google DeepMind.
Glimpse is built on an unnamed open-weight base model and post-trained by a small team with only a few hundred GPUs.
During its thinking process, Glimpse repeatedly returns to the original image, and can crop regions, extract frames from video, and run code to measure, which Elorian calls a visual scratchpad.

50%UnverifiedAs of the time the article was published, the specific contents of Elorian's release still could not be confirmed, and the original information was extremely limited.
50%UnverifiedElorian, as a team name, has not previously had extensive public coverage, and may be a relatively emerging team or project codename.
50%UnverifiedGlimpse adopts a 'vision-native reasoning' architecture, in which the intermediate representations during reasoning remain in visual form rather than being translated into text tokens early on.
50%UnverifiedThe amount of information Elorian has currently released is limited, and key indicators such as the model's technical details, training data composition and inference efficiency have yet to be disclosed.
