reuF2F benchmark: 244 Lean-formalized open math problems, best LLM solves only 109

wellecks · x · 2026-10-23

A new benchmark, reuF2F, collects 244 open math problems from Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs across a broad range of math areas, all formalized in Lean by experts, to test AI agents end-to-end on open problems. The team also built Leanimum-agent, a minimal coding agent for Lean, so all models compete under the same harness. Even the best-performing model resolves only 109 of 244 problems—underscoring that verification is becoming the bottleneck as LLMs scale up conjecture proving.
