New benchmark MINIF2F-DAFNY tests LLMs for mathematical theorem proving

Researchers have developed MINIF2F-DAFNY, a new benchmark for evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) in mathematical theorem proving. This system translates the miniF2F benchmark to Dafny, an auto-active verifier, enabling LLMs to guide proof generation while Dafny's automated theorem prover handles low-level details. In evaluations, the best-performing LLM, Claude Opus-4.6, achieved a 62.7% cumulative pass rate, significantly improving upon the baseline performance. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could accelerate the development of LLMs capable of complex mathematical reasoning and formal verification.

    MINIF2F-DAFNY: LLM-Guided Mathematical Theorem Proving via Auto-Active Verification

    arXiv:2512.10187v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLMs excel at reasoning, but validating their steps remains challenging. Formal verification offers a solution through mechanically checkable proofs. Interactive theorem provers (ITPs) dominate mathematical reasoning but require…
