Leanstral: 6B Active Parameters Model Sets New SOTA in Formal Math Proofs
Bam4d · x · 2026-08-07
Leanstral is a series of generalist code-agent models for Lean 4, featuring 119B total but only 6B active parameters. Operating directly within the open-sourced Mistral Vibe code-agent harness without specialized prover scaffolding, it scales performance smoothly via context compaction and increased test-time compute.
Despite its size, the model rivals larger proprietary systems: it saturates miniF2F, solves 587/672 problems on PutnamBench, and achieves a new state-of-the-art 34% on FATE-X and 43.2% on FLTEval. Furthermore, an automated pipeline built on Leanstral uncovered previously unknown bugs in real-world open-source repositories. The model is open-sourced under Apache-2.0.
Anecdote: The author noted on X that the paper was previously rejected by arXiv for "not having enough scientific contributions" before being published on alphaXiv.
