We're launching our new multimodal reasoning lab @ElorianAI out of stealth today with $55M backed by @strikervp, @MenloVentures and @AltimeterCap with participation from @nvidia, 49 Palms and others including @JeffDean. Find out more here https://t.co/h4egDb2rww.
After almost 12 years in Brain/DeepMind, I’ve finally decided to take the leap. My cofounders: @yinfeiy, Seth and I have kicked-off @ElorianAI. The first multimodal reasoning lab founded and led by former LLM pretraining, data and multimodal leads. https://t.co/XHcEtvl9F9 (1/n)
@ElorianAI is co-hosting a dinner event in CVPR to discuss the reasoning gap in visual AI, together with @gmi_cloud@NVIDIAAI, @NEA , and @twelve_labs .
RSVP and join us ! Link: https://t.co/gGwo2v6vNe
Honored to co-host Mingyang Deng (@Goodeat258) from MIT for a closed discussion on his fascinating work, Generative Modeling via Drifting.
Huge thanks to @shinshin_oob and @xia_char for the fantastic collaboration. And thanks to everyone who joined us! See you at the next event. 🙌

Also thanks @forrestnz and @Le_Xue01 for the great help !
@richard_qiuyi_z Any activity with Richard is a good time. If you're in Rio this week, swing by and learn about Elorian's new patio fountain

I sat down with the Delta Institute over the weekend to talk about the current boundaries of visual reasoning in frontier models. Along with some tips to build impactful research for young researchers. It's time to think big!

I remember writing a column last year about VC investors no longer backing model startups because of the heavy costs and competition from big labs.
That perspective has significantly changed as reasoning and specialization matters more and more. Our latest scoop on @technology digs into yet another effort

A legendary company in the making.
Announcing our $55m seed in @ElorianAI behind AI legends @AndrewDai, @YangYinfei and their remarkable founding team.
I sat down with @jaminball at the @AltimeterCap office to talk about what we're doing at @ElorianAI , why it's important and where existing approaches are getting stuck.
@AltimeterCap@AndrewDai@jaminball Great conversation with one of our investors about the importance of multimodal research and where current models are falling short
Their co-founder and CEO, @AndrewDai, spent 12 years at Google — co-authoring the paper that helped lay the groundwork for GPT, leading pre-training for PaLM 2, and serving as data lead for Gemini.
His insight: AI thinks purely in language. Humans don't.

9/ We're hiring. Small team. Hard problem. Real funding. No playbook. If you're a researcher or engineer who wants to define how AI understands the visual world, come build with us: [email protected]
Excited to introduce Elorian. Together with an incredible team of researchers, we're building AI that natively understands the visual world — not by translating images into text, but by reasoning through them directly.

8/ We've raised $55M from Striker Ventures, Menlo Ventures, and Altimeter, with participation from NVIDIA and Jeff Dean. Grateful for the backing — now it's time to build.
