APE-Bench: Agentic Theorem Proving in Lean
huajian_xin · x · 2026-07-06
The Seed Prover team will present APE-Bench at ICML 2026 (July 9), a benchmark that merges theorem proving with the coding agent paradigm. It models formal proofs (in Lean) into a task structure similar to SWE-Bench. The researchers propose the concept of "Agentic Proof Engineering," unifying three core challenges—deep reasoning, automated research, and coding agents—into a single task. The author has paused their PhD studies at the University of Edinburgh to pursue this research direction.
