Anthropic announced that last month Claude completed the first formalized proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, converting it into Lean-verifiable form — a project experts expected to take many years. The proof spans over 13 million lines of code, the largest Lean proof ever written, and machine-verifies 29,000+ supporting theorems along the way.
