Anthropic's Claude LLM used for Prolog code generation and formal verification

Researchers have detailed an experiment where they used Anthropic's Claude LLM to solve a set of Prolog programming exercises known as P-99. The LLM not only generated the Prolog code and tests but also formally proved properties like types, groundness, and termination using the Logic Program Theorem Prover (LPTP). This approach, described as "vibe-coding/vericoding," involved generating informal specifications and having Claude produce reliable code with formal guarantees, resulting in 58 logic procedures, 508 tests, and 257 lemmas with extensive proof lines. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates LLMs' capability in generating not just code but also formal verification, potentially accelerating software reliability.

    Case study: solving P-99 with LPTP and an LLM

    arXiv:2607.21196v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ninety-Nine Prolog Problems (P-99) is a famous set of Prolog exercises. We solved the first thirty three just by prompting an LLM (Large Language Model). We used Claude from Anthropic. By solved we mean: generate the Prolog code a…
