(It originated at Ought, a nonprofit research lab.) The funding will go toward developing Elicit’s product and expanding its team. “Like Ought, our mission is to scale up good reasoning using machine learning, starting with researchers,” the blog post notes. “Along with the fundraise, we are launching a new version of Elicit that not only performs paper searches but also discovers concepts across papers.” For more information, read the blog post.
