Sundar Pichai announced that Gemini 4 Carbon with AlphaProof Code mathematically verified the Signal protocol down to compiled device code, generating over 6M lines of machine-checked Lean proofs, compressing years of expert verification into weeks, with only 1% of the codebase needing human review. The work will be open-sourced. Cryptographer Matthew Green amplified the news.
