Anthropic researchers used an internal research model based on Claude to generate a computer-verifiable Lean code version of Andrew Wiles’ 1995 proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Comprising 13 million lines of code, the output represents the largest formalized proof file to date. The automated process took 11 days using agentic swarms, bypassing an estimated multi-year timeline for human mathematicians.
Why it matters
Demonstrates LLM agent capability to solve massive, complex formal verification and software translation tasks rapidly.
Highlights the efficacy of combining open-source logic tools like Prove2Me with models to improve inference efficiency.
