Claude formalizes Fermat proof in 11 days
Anthropic's Claude agents formalized Fermat's Last Theorem in 11 days, generating 13 million lines of Lean code and proving 30,300 intermediate theorems. The run consumed about six billion output tokens, roughly $300,000 at list price. Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London compiled and verified the proof.
