Next up on First Pass: A conversation with @EveraertDante, a voice AI researcher at @DecagonAI on Duplex Models

LLMs are turn based. Duplex Models are constantly "listening" streaming audio in and out simultaneously.

We started Arda in 2025 to speed up American manufacturing. We have spent the last year building with Anduril as our design partner. Today we are launching the company publicly on CNBC and announcing our Series A: $160M at a $1.5B valuation.

Our platform helps manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines, putting designs into production faster now. Next we'll build automated lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as human workers, letting America make products that now require armies of workers in Asia.

Glimpse from @ElorianAI

[Dustin Tran @dustinvtran]

On results, Glimpse is competitive on the frontier across multimodal benchmarks and dominates Flash-sized models.

[Jamin Ball @jaminball]

@dustinvtran huge congrats Dustin!

Very excited to share Glimpse with the world - the first visual thinking model from @ElorianAI

To hit ASI models need to get visually smarter - Elorian is making that possible!

Spent years watching models ace a single image and completely whiff on anything that moves or changes angle. Today we’re fixing that.

Try Glimpse now, our first visual thinking model with competitive frontier performance compared to Astra on key public visual reasoning benchmarks.
