New harness 'h1' matches specialized workflows in formal theorem proving

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper introduces 'h1', a simple harness designed to test if scaling test-time compute can match human-designed workflows in formal theorem proving. The harness interfaces with the Lean 4 programming language and uses verifier feedback and self-reflection. Results show h1 achieves state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like PutnamBench and FormalConjectures100-Solved, even matching or surpassing specialized workflows like Goedel-Architect and AlphaProof Nexus. AI

IMPACT Suggests that scaling compute with simple agentic loops can rival complex, human-designed workflows in formal mathematics.

    h1: A Taste of the Bitter Lesson in Automated Theorem Proving

    arXiv:2610.35962v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While progress in informal mathematics has come largely from scaling the chain-of-thought and agentic reasoning of frontier language models, formal theorem proving has increasingly relied on human-designed workflows around these…
