The team behind Elorian AI, with roots in Google's Gemini and Apple's MM-1, launched Glimpse, a model built solely for visual thinking. It generates no images—it only reasons about charts, tricky object counting, short video, and robot footage, targeting the gap where text models ace code but fail at basic visual tasks. Creator Andrew Dai claims competitive frontier performance versus Astra on key public visual reasoning benchmarks.
