Elorian launches first model Glimpse for visual reasoning

Palo Alto startup Elorian released Glimpse as a research preview with API access and a waitlist-only chat interface. Glimpse can repeatedly crop image regions, pull video frames, or run code mid-reasoning via a "visual scratch space," instead of converting images to tokens once. Elorian says it beats GPT-6 Astra on scientific chart reasoning and short-video captioning. The company raised a $55M seed at a $300M valuation before launching a product.
