It is a research preview with no public Elorian docs, model card or status page, and Elorian's terms allow training on submitted content unless a paid user opts out.\n\n**Prism Inference.** Three wire formats, a public OpenAPI 3.1 file, per-token prices in a keyless catalogue and zero data retention by default on every tier. The service launched on 24 September 2026 with two models, one of them by request, from a two-person company. No rate-limit numbers, SLA document, free tier or deprecation policy was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Glimpse\n\n1. Call it through OpenRouter as `elorian/glimpse` at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions. Elorian's own API docs sit behind a console sign-in\n2. Send video as a `video_url` content part, as a public URL or a base64 data URL. Batch requests are not available for this model\n3. Set `max_tokens` yourself. The endpoint allows up to 256,000 output tokens, and visual reasoning spends many of them\n4. Honour Retry-After on 429 and 503. With a single provider, a 503 means the Together deployment is unavailable, not that another host can take over\n5. Treat counts and timestamps as unverified. Elorian's terms say outputs need independent human review before anyone relies on them\n\n### Prism Inference\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.prisminference.com/v1/models` at start-up, with no key, and use only ids it returns. Expect 403 on `gemma-4-31b` without organisation access\n2. Use base URL `https://api.prisminference.com/v1` for OpenAI clients and `https://api.prisminference.com` with no `/v1` for Anthropic clients\n3. Read `error.retryable` before retrying, and wait for `Retry-After` on 429, which covers both key limits and model capacity\n4. Send `reasoning_effort: \"none\"` or `low` when latency matters. Reasoning is on by default and its tokens are billed as output\n5. Keep conversation state yourself and send `store: false` on Responses. `previous_response_id`, stored responses and hosted tools aren't supported\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Glimpse or Prism Inference?\n\nPrism Inference scores 60.1 (C) on agent readiness against Glimpse's 48.6 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Glimpse and Prism Inference need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Glimpse and Prism Inference without installing anything?\n\nYes. Glimpse has a hosted endpoint at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 and Prism Inference at https://api.prisminference.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elorian-glimpse-vs-prism-inference.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elorian-glimpse-vs-prism-inference.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"elorian-glimpse\", \"b\": \"prism-inference\"}`.
