Elorian (Oct 16) launches Glimpse — a visual-thinking model that revisits evidence mid-reasoning (zoom, denser frame rewatch, identity tracking) and can spawn multimodal subagents. Vendor evals: ahead of GPT-6 Astra on several chart/counting/video tasks; API priced at $0.60/M input and $3/M output (~94% below Astra on those rates). Built by a small team on a few hundred GPUs atop an open-weight base; API + chat UI live.
RAX (Robot Agent eXploration) lets a frozen LLM coding agent drive real robots via APIs, explore online, and compile successful perception–planning–control loops into reusable programs—no teleop demos or policy training; +37.4% avg vs baselines in sim; open skill libraries per embodiment.
