Choir is an open protocol that moves autoformalization from a single centrally run agent fleet to a GitHub-coordinated model in which independent contributors run their own LLM agents and pay their ow…
Formal methods can now be applied in small units of work because specifications can be made executable and used as test oracles while coding agents handle most of the typing, according to a Yovico ana…
Bend, a new programming language that compiles to native code and uses a Lean-style proof checker to block AI coding mistakes, has launched with an install script at bend-lang.com/install.sh. Bend run…
A new analysis argues that large language models (LLMs) function as a 'mutator' or fuzzer, producing rubbish by design and requiring an oracle program to verify correctness, with the key benchmark bei…
Rocq is better than Lean for program verification, according to a LangSec keynote slide by an unnamed author, because Rocq natively supports executable coinductive types and cofixpoints in Type, while…
Researchers at Basis used LLM-guided formal verification to uncover two critical bugs in Linux's nftables firewall compiler and optimizer, affecting every version of Linux since 2022. The verified imp…
Researchers have released Rzk, a proof assistant implementing a refinement of Riehl and Shulman's simplicial type theory (RSTT) for synthetic reasoning about ∞-categories. The tool translates RSTT pro…
TreeThink, a new open-source Python library for neural theorem proving, offers modular asynchronous tree search with native integration for formal verifiers in Lean 4, Rocq, and Isabelle/HOL, achievin…
A user on Hacker News asks for functional search engines for mathematical formulas, noting that existing tools like approach0.xyz, searchonmath.com, and mathweb.org are offline or produce irrelevant r…
