Glimpse, a research preview, outperformed GPT-6 Astra on two visual evaluations and gives users an API and chat interface for analyzing images and video.

Released Oct. 16, Glimpse can return to visual material while preparing an answer. It can inspect parts of an image, select video frames or use code to measure and compare details. Elorian calls the workspace for this process a “visual scratch space.”

Glimpse performed better than GPT-6 Astra on scientific chart reasoning and short-form video captioning. The model costs $0.60 per million input tokens and $3 per million output tokens.

A small team trained Glimpse using a few hundred GPUs. The company is initially targeting robotics firms, scientific labs, media companies and creative businesses, particularly those working with large amounts of video.

Longer term, Elorian aims to move from visual analysis to action, including direct robot control.
