Axiom formalizes the Enormous Theorem in Lean: 43.1M lines, 24 days of AI agent swarms
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-27
Axiom Math has released the first complete computer-checked proof of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups (CFSG), the longest proof in math history (15,000 pages across 500+ papers by 100 mathematicians).
- Over 24 days, engineers and mathematicians directed swarms of dozens of AI agents, producing 43.1 million lines of Lean code.
- CFSG gives the complete list of finite simple groups, the 'atoms' of finite symmetry, akin to a periodic table.
- A landmark combination of Lean formalization and large-scale AI agent collaboration in frontier mathematics.
