Reminder. Formalization is void if you cannot prove that the lean certificate matches exactly the proof.View quoted post on X
I suspect some people with bugs in their papers are going to produce lean certificates of the main result that avoids the holes that have been filled bu the clankers.

when bend2 launched, some complained about AI usage. in my view, this is only a problem if bugs can occur. the current typescript compiler, for example, has many. I hate it. with well-designed laws, though, that ceases to be a problem. so, for the better or for the worse, bend3 will be 100% AI-written. there is no going backView quoted post on X
while I was raising, I left a fleet of agents working on bend3, a small scale version of this vision. this was a huge success, beyond my own expectations. opus 5.5 successfully rewrote all of bend in itself, including its compiler, which is now certified, with zero bugs, and already 2x faster (!!). we now have a model of Bend, C, CUDA and the compiler, all written in Bend itself, and properly formalized. with this, we'll soon start the largest proof-driven compiler self-improvement loop in history
news on Bend have been slow because I was busy raising, but as soon as this is over, expect updates at a breath-taking place. this is the most exciting thing I've ever done and I can't wait for the big run to start
I don’t find this to be true. While the correctness of results will be less in doubt, formalization has now given strong evidence that major results were already very reliable. On the other hand, the influx of capital into the profession has been accompanied by a huge number of claims about significance, applicability etc. that I find much less reliable than most mathematical claims previously.View quoted post on X
