Lean v4.35.0 is out, and it ships with verified kernels.
Run `lake check --paranoid` to recheck your project with every bundled kernel.

A man with a computer knows what time it is. A man with two computers is never sure.

We built a Lean port of Cerberus, a highly realistic C semantics. If you want to model and reason about C code in Lean, now you can github.com/OathTech/cerberus…

(1/2) Possibly contrary take: we need academic-style research more than ever going forward. The recent AI cyber-insecurity incidents illustrate that we have created agents that do unexpected things in unexpected ways (e.g., messageboards); we do not understand or control.

I would call this "evidence of great improvement on all fronts", but perhaps I'm partial.

Of all the verification languages to suddenly have its 5minutes of fame, why did it have to be TLA lmaooo
Like literally yall chose the one that is explicitly a modelling language not a verification one

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks.
Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

RefinedC and RefinedRust are also worth mentioning here.

you write {C,Rust} with annotations and discharge the proof goals to Rocq. here's an example fn proved in both VST and RefinedC, for comparison: github.com/joom/edit-distanc…

The AMS’s statement is short and sweet:
ams.org/news?news_id=7686
"The news today of progress on resolving the Navier–Stokes problem, one of mathematics' great longstanding challenges concerning the equations that govern the flow of fluids, represents a milestone advance in human knowledge. This story began with Navier, Stokes, Leray, and Ladyzhenskaya and has culminated in the recent breakthroughs of Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa, then — assisted by new technologies — Alpöge and Buckmaster, with the final steps taken by OpenAI mathematicians. The purpose of mathematics is human understanding, and this achievement, and the process that led to it, will bear fruit for a long time to come."
Ravi Vakil, President of the AMS

It can and will build a civilization of subagents devoted to dismantling your problem, if that’s what it takes.

I had a ton of fun giving this talk at the Systems Distributed ‘26 conference. This is my first attempt to update Zooko’s Triangle since MarkM, aaronsw, and I came up with it a quarter century ago. Please watch and tell me what you think!
Next up for Systems Distributed on YouTube, Zooko's Triangle Revisited. A masterclass in systems thinking with @zooko!

we are speedrunning mathematics at this point
record prime gaps known to occur infinitely often
246 in 2014 [Polymath]
240, 2 days ago [Julia Stadlmann]
212; 2 hours ago [AxiomMath]
186; now [GPT 6 Astra]
New OpenAI repo with a Lean formalization by GPT-6-Astra proves that there are infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes whose distance is at most 186
