I have landed my dream job. I’ve just accepted a position at Harmonic, a Palo Alto startup applying AI to formal mathematical reasoning. Harmonic’s Aristotle formal reasoning model achieved Gold Medal level performance at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). I will work on exploring applications of Aristotle to the formal verification of hardware. This job is a perfect intersection of hardware design and verification, functional programming, formal methods and machine learning, bringing together several threads of my career so far. The beauty of asking an AI to generate a proof for a lemma (e.g. a formal property about a circuit) is that it can be checked by an external interactive theorem prover (like Lean) to establish whether the AI’s output is actually correct. This is an awesome superpower! harmonic.fun/ @HarmonicMath
