Summary
Elorian, the Palo Alto AI startup that raised a $55 million seed round at a $300 million valuation before it launched a product, released its first model on Friday, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.

For former Google DeepMind researcher and Elorian CEO Andrew Dai, one of the clearest signs that AI still couldn’t see came on game night. Last year he photographed a board game he’d finished with friends and asked a frontier model who was winning.
