Deedy highlights Elorian — founded by Jeff Dean's top Gemini lead, an Apple LLM lead, an xAI lead, and a Harvard professor — launching Glimpse, an Astra-level visual reasoning model at 17x lower cost. It demos physics reasoning over the flying Tesla Roadster video. His take: LLMs are either incapable or unaffordable for visual reasoning at scale, and Glimpse matters for video inputs in manufacturing, robotics, gaming, and content moderation.
