Hariprasad Sudharshan told [AI Engineer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JZy5AuuQzc) he spent two years shipping apps that all landed on the same median.

He framed the $125 trillion global economy as running on deterministic software built over 70 years.

Sudharshan said the "model and the hardness do not care who is typing and from which part of the world" so outputs converge.

He cited [Google](/startups/google) talent pools and GitHub repo counts but offered no benchmark showing his calculators underperformed.

He dismissed Elo gaps of 87 points between [Anthropic](https://www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/prediction-markets/2026/ai-ipo-race-markets-eye-openai-anthropic) at 1503 and Mistral at 1460 as boardroom noise, not product edge.

No patch, filing, or release date was given for the novelty-budget playbook he proposed.
