LLMs guide SMT solvers to solve complex logic problems

Researchers have developed LinguaArray, a novel framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to guide formal reasoning systems in solving complex problems, specifically in quantified array SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solving. While LLMs cannot be trusted for direct proof generation, LinguaArray uses them to identify critical semantic structures, proposing a small set of focal ground terms or constraints. A conventional SMT solver then validates these suggestions, ensuring all results are certified by the solver itself. This approach significantly enhances the solver's capability, enabling it to tackle instances that would otherwise be unsolvable within a given time limit. AI

IMPACT Enhances formal verification capabilities by integrating LLM insights with certified solver outputs.

    Verifiable LLM-Guided Focal SMT Solving for Quantified Arrays

    arXiv:2610.39435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can often identify useful semantic structure in formal artifacts, but their outputs cannot be trusted as proofs or solver decisions. We study whether LLMs can instead guide formal reasoning systems through a na…
