Claude turned a famous mathematical proof into millions of checkable code lines Anthropic says Claude completed years of expected work in 11 days The massive proof contains 13 million lines of Lean ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

AI converts Andrew Wiles’s 100-page argument into 13 million lines of Lean code, redefining proof verification in mathematics ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics. Reading time 10 minutes Will ...

Twenty-five leading mathematicians signed an open letter arguing that AI labs threatened their intellectual work as they seek to one-up each other with solutions to famous math problems. "We are ...

Mathematics is traditionally a solitary science. In 1986 Andrew Wiles withdrew to his study for seven years to prove Fermat’s theorem. The resulting proofs are often difficult for colleagues to ...
