"One thing I heard from some of the top researchers and mathematicians I've recruited to Axiom is that solving for mathematical superintelligence will be their legacy,"
"When the problem is hard enough, talent density gets very high, and that makes you a magnet for other great thinkers."
Carina Hong, a 24-year-old Rhodes Scholar and Stanford dropout, founded Axiom Math in March to build an AI mathematician. The startup announced a $64 million seed round after claiming solutions to two long-standing Erdős problems. Axiom employs 17 people, many recruited from Meta's FAIR, Meta's GenAI team, and Google Brain (now part of DeepMind). The company targets advanced mathematics as a pathway to mathematical superintelligence, which attracted top talent seeking a legacy. Hong prioritized FAIR in early recruiting because of its consistent research output. Meta later conducted layoffs on that research team in October and lost its chief scientist.
