I found your factored cognition project really interesting, is anyone still researching this? (besides the implementation in Elicit)
Some people who are explicitly interested in working on it: Sam Bowman at NYU, Alex Gray at OpenAI. On the ML side there’s also work like Selection-Inference that isn’t explicitly framed as factored cognition but also avoids end-to-end optimization in favor of locally coherent reasoning steps.

Wow, super happy to hear that, thanks!
Oh, forgot to mention Jonathan Uesato at Deepmind who’s also very interested in advancing the ML side of factored cognition.
