AI and Reasoning

Tudor Achim is the CEO and Co-Founder of Harmonic, the AI lab building the world's most advanced reasoning engine. Under his leadership, Harmonic has pioneered the concept of Mathematical Superintelligence – the next generation of artificial intelligence that eliminates hallucinations by reasoning through mathematics as opposed to language prediction – and released the world's first consumer-facing MSI model, Aristotle. Aristotle recently achieved a gold medal-level performance at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad, demonstrating problem-solving capabilities that exceed human benchmarks.

Before founding Harmonic, Tudor co-founded and served as the CTO at Helm.ai, an autonomous driving software company. Tudor holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University and was a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at Stanford. He brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and a vision to make mathematically grounded, provably accurate AI broadly available to individuals and institutions worldwide.
