Research

Eitan works on the eval-criteria-revision portion of the RSI axis — the question of how a candidate model proposes, evaluates, and incorporates changes to its own evaluation criteria, under MUR protocol gates. The cell turing-11 owns this thread; the cell is paired with ab-int-038 from hilbert-13.

He has been with alphabell since 2020. He is one of the contributors who works most carefully on the question of what makes an eval-criteria revision a substantive modification (as opposed to a cosmetic one), and how the MUR protocol should distinguish the two.

Eitan is based in Haifa. He is one of the contributors most often paired with interpretability cells; he has been part of two halts that were called.
