Harmonic is a research laboratory building mathematical superintelligence with verifiable reasoning at its core. Its Aristotle system generates proofs in the Lean formal language so that every claim it makes can be checked mechanically rather than trusted, an approach aimed directly at eliminating hallucination in reasoning. The company was co-founded by the Robinhood founder Vlad Tenev and reached gold medal level performance on international mathematical olympiad problems; its long term aim is a system whose mathematical output requires no human verification.
