Anthropic's Claude Agents Formalized Fermat's Last Theorem in 11 Days
Anthropic says dozens of Claude agents worked almost autonomously for 11 days to produce the first complete, machine-verified proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in the Lean proof assistant. The project generated 13 million lines of code and proved over 30,000 theorems after early agents lost track of the proof and had to be coordinated through a shared dependency graph called Prove2Me.
Anthropic Claude formally proved Fermat's Last Theorem
Humans using one of Cloud’s artificial intelligence models built A computer-verifiable version of an extremely complex mathematical proof. Image source: anthropopic.com As part of the project, Anthropic examined evidence supporting a study called Fermat’s Last Theorem – It was proposed in 1637 and is related to the properties of positive integers. The proof of the […]
The history of the Grand Farm Theorem dates back almost four centuries from a modest note by Pierre Ferm in the fields of the tractor. Mathematician argued that the diofto equation an + bn = cn has no solution to the whole positive numbers at n > 2, and even claimed to have found fine confirmation.
Columbia Business School Assistant Professor Tianyi Peng, using Claude, completed the first complete, computer-verified proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in a highly autonomous manner within 11 days. The proof, written in the Lean programming language, contains 13 million lines of code and proves 29,500...
