Classification of Finite Simple Groups Formalized in Lean

This is a genuine milestone in formal mathematics, not a breakthrough in AI per se. But it signals that language models plus proof assistants are starting to solve hard structural problems. For researchers building on this stack: you now have a proof that LLMs can handle mathematical formalization at scale. For builders: this is where agents start to look less experimental and more like a capability tier.

Numina Fuse: Interactive Autoformalization in Lean 4

The core move here is letting agents own the loop once they prove reliable enough. This is an agent architecture pattern that works: project state stays separate from orchestration, so agents can take on more work as models improve. For builders working on complex multi-step automation, this separation of concerns is worth stealing. The Kakeya conjecture formalization is real work, not a toy. If you're building long-horizon agent systems, this shows how to hand off safely.
