Harmonic, an AI company developing mathematical superintelligence, announced that it raised a $75 million Series A funding round led by Sequoia Capital. Index Ventures also had “significant participation” in the round, which led to a $325 million post-money valuation.
The company was founded in 2023 by Robinhood (HOOD) chief executive Vlad Tenev and Tudor Achim.
Mathematical Superintelligence, or MSI, is “AI with mathematical capabilities superior to that of humans,” according to Harmonic. MSI can solve the limitations of other AI systems, the company says, by using formal verification to eliminate hallucinations, and overcoming data walls with synthetic data.
Harmonic has a state-of-the-art mathematics model called Aristotle, which it says scored 90% on the leading formal mathematics benchmark, MiniF2F.
“We believe that mathematical superintelligence is the next frontier in AI,” Tenev said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with Sequoia, Index, and many other great investors to accelerate the advent of AI models that are accurate and truth-seeking.”
