Today is my last at Elicit. I joined then Ought at 18 as an intern in the summer of 2022. Over the past three years, we’ve done early factored cognition research, spun out into a for-profit, rebuilt the Elicit codebase from the ground up, and shipped many core platform features.

Elicit now understands figures! Elicit is the first AI tool that can systematically parse, interpret, and extract data from figures across thousands of papers. That includes Kaplan-Meier curves, heatmaps, reaction schemes, and microscopy images. Figures contain critical

We discovered an emergent property of VLAs like π0/π0.5/π0.6: as we scale up pre-training, the model learns to align human videos and robot data! This gives us a simple way to leverage human videos. Once π0.5 knows how to control robots, it can naturally learn from human video.

Happy to share that I joined humans& in November! I’m excited for a future where advanced AI is endlessly curious about humanity, deeply cares about us, and we care for it in turn. Let’s build AGI for the humans!

Massive thank you to Lisa Wehden and Plymouth for getting me a new O-1 for humans& in record time. It’s a massive privilege to work in the US with such talented people, and I’m really grateful for your help. If you need assistance with visas, please reach out to them!
