Deep Dive: Claude Agents Formalize Fermat's Last Theorem

The GenAI Evolution Atlas by Peter Liu

Episode notes
Working largely autonomously over 11 days on the open Prove2Me platform, many coordinated Claude agents produced the first complete, machine-checked proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean 4 — over 13 million lines of code and roughly 29,500 new theorems, dwarfing Lean's existing main math library and closing out the 20-year-old Wiedijk "100 theorems" formalization challenge list. This episode digs into how a proof of that scale gets built and verified by a swarm of AI agents, why a machine-checked result is such a hard-to-fake data point, and what it does and doesn't tell us about the state of long-horizon autonomous AI work.
