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 youtu.be/YlvfNpOMeOY?si=iiVT….
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. youtu.be/YlvfNpOMeOY?si=iiVT… (1/n)

If you're at CVPR come by to discuss why so many labs have struggled to succeed at visual reasoning . We're pretty sure there will be snacks.
Replying to @ElorianAI
@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: luma.com/gmicloud-9gof

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. 🙌 cc : @ElorianAI , @1943aiml Also thanks @forrestnz and @Le_Xue01 for the great help !

We're visualizing big to make the next breakthroughs in reasoning.
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 Latest w/ @byJuliaLove: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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.

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. @jaminball @ElorianAI
We're excited to announce our investment in @ElorianAI, a new AI lab building the next frontier of visual reasoning co-founded by @AndrewDai. Today's frontier models can write code but can't reason about what they see. Andrew spent 12 years inside Google Brain & Gemini and knows exactly where the gap is. We think Elorian is the team to build superhuman visual reasoning. @jaminball

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. elorian.ai/ youtu.be/YlvfNpOMeOY

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: talent@elorian.ai
