Researcher Vasily Ilin announced on X that he has solved 11 previously unsolved LeanEval problems in the past three weeks, including large, hard research-level formalizations such as Green-Tao theorem, Morley's categoricity theorem, and Mihăilescu's theorem. The longest one, Mihăilescu, took 33 hours. This demonstrates AI's potential in mathematical reasoning and formal proof.
