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**StepFun API.** StepFun's API serves Step 5 Preview with a 1M-token context, video input, strict JSON Schema output and published per-token prices, documented in Markdown with an llms.txt. The model is a preview with no release date found, there's no free allowance or SLA, and the terms and privacy policy leave room to train on customer data.\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### StepFun API\n\n1. Set `max_tokens` yourself. It defaults to unlimited on Step 5 Preview, and reasoning tokens are billed as output\n2. Use `response_format` with `type: json_schema` and `strict: true` when the shape matters. JSON Mode alone isn't schema-checked\n3. Back off and retry on 429, 500, 503 and 504. The docs give no Retry-After header or backoff schedule\n4. Expect HTTP 451 or `finish_reason: content_filter` when content fails StepFun's review, and don't retry the same input\n5. Use api.stepfun.ai for the international platform. api.stepfun.com is the China platform with yuan pricing\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Glimpse or StepFun API?\n\nGlimpse scores 48.6 (D) on agent readiness against StepFun API's 44.1 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. StepFun API leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Glimpse and StepFun API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Glimpse and StepFun API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Glimpse has a hosted endpoint at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 and StepFun API at https://api.stepfun.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elorian-glimpse-vs-stepfun-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elorian-glimpse-vs-stepfun-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"elorian-glimpse\", \"b\": \"stepfun-api\"}`.
