Anthropic machine-verifies Fermat's Last Theorem in 13M+ lines of code, 29K theorems
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-09-05
A statement attributed to Anthropic claims a machine-verified proof of Fermat's Last Theorem totaling over 13 million lines of code — and, in the process, formalizing 29,000+ supporting theorems across areas of math never previously formalized.
First proven by Andrew Wiles in 1995, the theorem now apparently has a fully machine-checkable proof. If confirmed, it marks a landmark for AI-for-math. Details are from a third-party repost pending official confirmation.
