About elicit

Elicit is building a research agent that can use an unlimited amount of test-time compute while keeping its reasoning transparent and verifiable. The residency Transformers do a fixed amount of computation per token, and the quality of work degrades rapidly when they are applied iteratively. As research resident, you'll work with us for 3 months on developing computational procedures (operators) that can reliably improve a knowledge state over thousands of iterations. What is a knowledge state? A knowledge state consists of structured information - for example, a scientific paper might be repr
