Axiom auto-formalizes the 15,000-page Classification of Finite Simple Groups in Lean
McDonaghMatthew · x · 2026-10-28
Axiom announced a complete Lean auto-formalization of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups — the "periodic table of symmetry" — calling it the largest math proof in human history to be computer-verified. The original proof spans about 15,000 pages built by over 100 mathematicians across generations. Many see it as a landmark for AI-driven formalization of large-scale human mathematics.
