Raytron brings AI understanding to thermal imaging with new infrared vision-language model

At CIOE 2026, Raytron showcased an infrared vision-language model (VLM) for thermal imaging systems and the third-generation Falcon 500 infrared image processing chip. The model is trained on over 5 million proprietary multimodal infrared data and runs locally on edge chips.

• Model trained on 5+ million multimodal infrared samples
• Supports gas detection: methane, SO2, ethanol, R-134a, SF6
• Falcon 500 chip combines infrared image processing and AI inference
• Processing runs locally on edge chips without cloud
