Fable 5.2 agents formalize Fermat's Last Theorem in 30 hours, outperforming Opus 5.5

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A large-scale deployment of 1,000 Fable 5.2 agents successfully formalized Fermat's Last Theorem within 30 hours, translating the complex mathematical proof into a computer-verifiable format. In contrast, the Opus 5.5 model achieved only 26% completion of the same task in 18 hours and showed minimal further progress. This demonstrates a significant performance difference between the two AI models on a rigorous formalization task. AI

IMPACT Highlights significant advancements in AI's capability for complex mathematical reasoning and formal verification.
