- At ICM 2026, Alex Kontorovich and Scott Armstrong discussed autoformalization and the growing role of LLMs such as Claude and ChatGPT in proof formalization.
- The quoted segment says the shift is already underway: even without a Lean background, researchers are using LLMs to formalize results such as De Giorgi–Nash–Moser theory.
- The conversation emphasized a healthy diversity of views, but the direction is clear: Lean is becoming more central in mathematical formalization workflows.
