LLMs are making formal software verification feasible at much larger scale
johnbender · hn · 2026-10-23
HN discussion of Anthropic's research on formal verification: LLMs are making formal software verification feasible at a far larger scale. Classic formal methods were too costly outside critical systems; LLM-assisted spec and proof generation lowers the barrier, with debate on what this means for software reliability.
