arXiv:2606. 12594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Lean theorem provers achieve strong performance only with substantial training and inference compute, driven in part by scarce verified proof data and the long reasoning traces of formal proof search, making both supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and sampling expensive.

Magenta is a training‑free pipeline that bridges informal natural‑language mathematical problems and formal Lean 4 verification. Given a problem in plain text, it generates an answer, translates it into a Lean 4 statement, and constructs a machine‑checked proof. The system includes a statement judge to ensure the formalisation matches the original problem and an error‑attribution judge to guide corrections, achieving perfect accuracy on olympiad benchmarks and solving all six IMO 2026 problems when combined with K2‑Horizon‑7B.

FaithSieve is a Lean‑assisted framework that fine‑grains natural‑language mathematical proofs into local reasoning units, extracts typed proof obligations, and verifies them with formal evidence gated by semantic alignment. It introduces two expert‑verified datasets—ProofLoc‑Olympiad and ProofLoc‑University—to benchmark first‑error localization. On these benchmarks, FaithSieve outperforms direct‑judging baselines, achieving 81.43% and 84.5% exact first‑error accuracy respectively.

The paper presents a neural evaluator that predicts Lean 4 theorem‑proving verdicts and compiler feedback, trained on 4.84 million labelled programs. A two‑stage approach—first screening candidates with a validity classifier, then scoring positives with a feedback model—achieves 87.8 % accuracy on a 68,932‑program benchmark and processes 3.5 candidates per second on an H100 GPU, outperforming a 64‑worker Lean baseline. Integrating this evaluator into a hybrid reward system reduces GRPO training steps by about 31 % while maintaining comparable miniF2F pass rates.

arXiv:2606. 31002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theorem-proving benchmarks evaluate proof search against fixed formal statements, but natural-language-to-Lean formalization must generate the formal statement itself.

NanoProof is the first factorized execution‑guided theorem prover in Lean 4 whose training data, tooling, pipeline, and weights are all publicly released, enabling end‑to‑end reproducibility with open‑source resources. The authors provide a dataset of structured proof trees and a programmatic interaction tool for Lean 4, emphasizing compute efficiency to make training and evaluation more accessible. NanoProof achieves a 50.8% pass@16 on MiniF2F‑Test, outperforming comparable systems while using far less compute, demonstrating that such provers can be rebuilt from scratch with modest resources.

arXiv:2607. 19407v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Formal theorem proving has emerged as a frontier challenge for machine learning, yet the ecosystem is fragmented: proofs remain siloed across incompatible systems, limiting both training data for learning-based provers and the portability of verified results.

arXiv:2505. 18492v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mathematical competition problems fall into two broad types: theorem proving, which asks for a proof of a given statement, and answer construction, which requires constructing a property-satifying object with proofs.
