According to AXIOS, Nvidia has invested in the mathematical AI startup Harmonic.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev co-founded the AI startup Harmonic, which has completed a $120 million funding round, reaching a valuation of $1.45 billion. This round was led by Ribbit Capital, with participation from Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and new investor Emerson Collective.Harmonic's core technology, "Mathematical Superintelligence (MSI)," is based on formal logic rather than statistical prediction, aiming to address the AI hallucination problem. Its flagship model, Aristotle, has performed exceptionally well in the International Mathematical Olympiad, reaching a level comparable to leading research labs at Google and OpenAI. Aristotle generates verifiable reasoning steps using the Lean4 programming language, ensuring that conclusions are based on rigorous logic. This technology is particularly suited for high-risk industries such as aerospace and finance. Currently, Aristotle is available to developers and mathematicians through a free API, with commercialization plans to be launched later.

According to The Block, Harmonic has completed a $6 million seed round financing, led by Paradigm.Harmonic co-founder Jakob Povšič (who is also a co-founder of the crypto-native R&D company Temporal) stated that this round of financing also includes angel investments from undisclosed "key stakeholders in Solana." Povšič declined to disclose the timing of the financing, the structure of the round, the company's valuation, business model, or whether investors would serve as advisors or board members.Harmonic claims to be the first open block building system on Solana, allowing validators to receive blocks in real-time from multiple competing builders, thereby enhancing network speed and efficiency.

ChainCatcher news, the artificial intelligence laboratory Harmonic announced the completion of a $100 million Series B funding round, led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, and Charlie Cheever, bringing the post-money valuation to $900 million.Harmonic is currently building software verification and code verification capabilities based on Mathematical Superintelligence (MSI), primarily applied in industries such as blockchain and financial services. The company raised $75 million in its Series A funding round last September.
