After Claude's formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem, @jacobaustin132 says the team has been talking with Kevin Buzzard on Lean Zulip all week. Buzzard's main ask: compile an errata list so something is learned from the proof, partly done already. He calls Buzzard "very kind, maybe more than we deserve," noting Buzzard cares about the result—Lean thriving. littmath confirmed they're in touch with Buzzard.
