Elorian, a startup founded by researchers behind Gemini and Apple's MM-1, has launched Glimpse, its first "visual thinking" model built to genuinely understand what it sees, especially moving or angle-changing scenes. According to Andrew Dai, Glimpse shows frontier-level performance on key public visual reasoning benchmarks compared to Astra, targeting tricky counting, visual puzzles and video reasoning. It's available to try now.
