# Elorian AI > Elorian AI Inc is a Palo Alto, California frontier AI research company founded in 2025 > and out of stealth since April 2026, building foundation models for visual reasoning — > models that process visual input directly rather than converting imagery to text first. > As of 2026-08-12 Elorian is PRE-PRODUCT and publishes NO public API: no developer > portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL/MCP surface, and no API host. ## What Elorian does - Foundation models for visual reasoning and spatial understanding, aimed at architecture, automotive, manufacturing, and robotics. - Stated goal: "visual AGI" — models that think in images rather than in text-converted descriptions of images. - Founded by Andrew Dai (CEO, ex-Google Brain/DeepMind), Yinfei Yang (Chief Multimodal Architect, ex-Apple/Google Research), and Seth Neel (ex-Harvard); Dustin Tran (ex-xAI) is Chief Reasoning Architect. - Raised a $55M seed round at a reported $300M valuation, with Nvidia and Menlo Ventures named as strategic partners. ## API status (read this before looking for endpoints) There is nothing to integrate with today. - No developer portal, documentation site, or API reference is published. - `api.elorian.ai`, `docs.elorian.ai`, and `developer.elorian.ai` do not resolve (NXDOMAIN). - `https://elorian.ai/openapi.json`, `/docs`, `/api` all return 404. - Every `/.well-known/` path probed returns 404 (see `well-known/elorian-ai-well-known.yml`). - No hosted MCP server, no A2A agent card, no published SDKs on npm, PyPI, or any other registry. - The only HTTP endpoint on the site is `POST /api/waitlist`, a Cloudflare Worker backing the marketing waitlist form. It is Turnstile-protected and is not a product API. - The company states its first foundation visual thinking model will be released "later this year" (as of mid-2026); early access is by waitlist only. ## Links - Website: https://elorian.ai/ - Models / early-access waitlist: https://elorian.ai/models.html - Team: https://elorian.ai/team.html - Press: https://elorian.ai/press.html - Careers: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/elorian-ai-inc - GitHub organization: https://github.com/elorian-ai (1 public repo, a fork of NVIDIA/NeMo-Curator used for data curation pipelines — not a client library) - Contact: contact@elorian.ai - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/elorian-ai - X: https://x.com/ElorianAI - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ElorianAI ## Optional - Press coverage: Bloomberg (Apr 2026, out of stealth), Fast Company ("This new AI model thinks in images, not just words"), Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startups 2026, TechCrunch Build Mode (pre-seed valuation). - Secondary-market profile: https://forgeglobal.com/elorian-ai_stock/ - This file is generated by API Evangelist from public sources.
