- Context the-decoder.com:
humans worked with the same model to turn them into research papers... OpenAI said its researchers helped prepare the papers and formalize the proofs.
- Supports thenextweb.com:
Thomas Bloom called the latest results 'big news'... 'more significant than the unit distance counterexample'.
- Context digit.in:
Lean verification 'verifies the logical integrity of the reasoning process assuming a set of premises is provided' but does not evaluate whether it qualifies as illuminating.
