CoinScoopClaude Formalizes Proof for Fermat's Last Theorem in 11 Days
Anthropic announced that its Claude AI agents successfully completed the first computer-verified formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem in just 11 days. The project, led by Anthropic researcher Tianyi Peng, involved translating Andrew Wiles's 1995 proof into code compatible with the Lean proof assistant. Utilizing the Mathlib library and existing projects from Imperial College London, the agents proved approximately 30,300 intermediate theorems, resulting in 13 million lines of code. The effort was coordinated via the Prove2Me platform, which allowed multip
