Glimpse API on ModelFold
Glimpse is a multimodal visual reasoning model from Elorian, built for visual understanding and complex visual reasoning about the physical world, reasoning directly over images and video. Try Glimpse in the ModelFold Playground, then call it from your own code through an OpenAI-compatible chat completions API.
What Is the Glimpse API
Glimpse at a glance
Glimpse is a chat model from Elorian. It accepts text, images and video as input and returns text, with a context window of up to 262K tokens.
Use it without hosting anything
On ModelFold you call Glimpse with a single API key — no model weights to download and no inference servers to run. The same key also works for the other chat, image, video and audio models on ModelFold.
Core Capabilities of Glimpse
Up to 262K tokens of context
Keep long conversations, large documents and sizeable code in a single request, so the model can reason over the full material instead of fragments.
Understands images and video
Besides text, Glimpse accepts images and video as input, so a single request can combine instructions with visual or other media.
Function calling
Glimpse supports tool (function) calling: describe your functions in the request and the model returns structured calls your code can run — the basis for agents and integrations.
Reasoning mode
Glimpse can produce reasoning before its final answer; in the Playground you can switch reasoning on or off to compare results.
Structured outputs
Ask for JSON that follows a schema (response_format), which makes extraction, classification and system integrations more reliable.
How to Use Glimpse on ModelFold

Step 4: Ship and monitor
Integrate the response into your product and check token usage and spend for every call in the console logs.
What You Can Build with Glimpse
Screenshot and image understanding
Read screenshots, charts, diagrams and photos alongside text — for UI review, visual QA or turning images into structured data.
Analysis and complex reasoning
Work through research questions, data interpretation, planning and other problems that need careful step-by-step reasoning.
Audio and video analysis
Summarize recordings, meetings and video clips, extract key points and answer questions about their content.
Autonomous agents
Build agents that plan multi-step tasks, call your tools and APIs, and keep working toward a goal across long sessions.

How long is the context window of Glimpse?⌄
Up to 262K tokens, shared between your input and the model’s output.
Does Glimpse support function calling?⌄
Yes. Glimpse supports tools / function calling through the standard tools parameter of the chat completions API.
How is Glimpse billed on ModelFold?⌄
Pay as you go by tokens: input and output tokens are charged at the per-million-token prices shown on this page. There is no monthly fee, and failed requests are not charged.
How do I call Glimpse through the API?⌄
Send a POST request to https://modelfold.ai/v1/chat/completions with "model": "glimpse", using your ModelFold API key as the Bearer token.
| Input | 120 credits 1M tokens≈ $0.60 |
| Output | 600 credits 1M tokens≈ $3.00 |
Billed per token: input and output are priced separately, and thinking tokens count as output. The Playground charges exactly the same way.
