LLMs Speed Up Math Proof Generation, Verification Becomes Bottleneck
michaelchchoi · x · 2026-07-14
This post emphasizes that as LLMs generate more mathematical proofs, **verification** could become a new bottleneck. The original author shares their experience using LLMs to assist in finding and formalizing the proof for the **Kannan–Tetali–Vempala conjecture**, summarizing several practical tips. It focuses specifically on the research practice of "AI-assisted mathematical proofs" rather than a broad, general discussion.
