Claude just formalized Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean—13 million lines of code, the largest Lean proof ever written. This is wild because experts thought it'd take years, but Claude knocked it out in a month.
Wiles proved FLT in 1995 after 350+ years of attempts. Now we have machine-verifiable proof. The real flex? Claude formalized 29,000+ supporting theorems across multiple math domains that had never been touched before.
This isn't just about one theorem. It's about scaling formal verification. Math papers are piling up faster than referees can check them. AI-assisted proof verification could actually solve that bottleneck.
The proof is live on GitHub. If you're into proof assistants or want to see how Claude handles deep mathematical reasoning, this is a must-read. The Science Blog breaks down the architecture and approach.
