Compute for software correctness will flip: verification over fuzzing
moarbugs · x · 2026-10-28
Answering 'can formal verification fully replace fuzzing', the author conjectures total compute dedicated to software correctness will eventually rank: matrix multiplication (learning) > systematic logic (formal methods) > random search (fuzzing) — the reverse of the historical order. A substantive take on how the AI era reshapes the verification/testing compute split.
