Elorian released its first model, Glimpse, on Friday as a research preview with API access, TechCrunch reported. The model can revisit images during reasoning, crop regions, retrieve video frames and run code to measure or compare visual information. Its chat interface is available only through a waitlist.

Glimpse costs $0.60 per million input tokens and $3 per million output tokens. Elorian initially targets robotics firms, scientific labs, media and creative companies with substantial video collections. The company says its evaluations show Glimpse outperforming GPT-6 Astra on scientific chart reasoning and short-form video captioning; those results are Elorian's own evaluations.
