Stanford SVIL: Lean proofs grew three orders of magnitude in a year as AI scales formal verification
AlexKontorovich · x · 2026-11-07
- The Beneficial AI Foundation and Lean FRO will co-host SVIL Fall 2026 on November 7 at Stanford, focused on pushing Lean's software verification ecosystem toward production use, with an emphasis on end-to-end verification of security-critical systems and BAIF's Secure Stack initiative.
- Max Tegmark's team will share lessons from Signal Shot since its April 2026 launch and introduce Secure Stack, a moonshot to build a verified software stack on the seL4 microkernel.
- Leonardo de Moura's talk "Scaling Lean for AI" highlights that Lean proofs grew by three orders of magnitude in the last twelve months. Other speakers include Jonathan Protzenko (Google), Mike Dodds (Oath FRO), and Andres Erbsen (UW).
