New framework boosts formal theorem provers using compiler outputs

Researchers have developed a new framework to improve the efficiency of formal theorem provers by leveraging compiler outputs. This method uses a learning-to-refine approach that exploits the compression of diverse proof attempts into structured failure modes by compilers. The system performs tree search, correcting errors based on verifier feedback to avoid the high computational costs of extensive proof exploration. Evaluations show this approach enhances prover capabilities and achieves state-of-the-art performance on PutnamBench for models around 8B and 32B parameters within comparable time budgets. AI

    Compile to Compress: Boosting Formal Theorem Provers by Compiler Outputs

    arXiv:2604.18587v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in formal theorem proving, yet state-of-the-art performance often necessitates prohibitive test-time compute via massive roll-outs or extended context wi…
