NanoProof: Open and Efficient Automated Theorem Proving in Lean 4

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.

Pythagoras-Prover: Advancing Efficient Formal Proving via Augmented Lean Formalisation

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.

TreeThink: A Modular Tree Search Library for Mathematical Reasoning with LLMs

TreeThink is an open‑source Python library that provides modular, fully asynchronous tree search for neural theorem proving. It integrates established tree‑search methods with vLLM inference pipelines and supports a range of node evaluation techniques, from lightweight heuristics to neural evaluators. The library connects directly to the REPL servers of Lean 4, Rocq, and Isabelle/HOL, enabling real‑time verification and proof‑state extraction, and it has been evaluated on miniF2F and MATH500, achieving up to an 8.0× wall‑clock speedup from asynchronous execution.

Compiler-Guided Adaptive Proof Search with Cross-Model Synergy on Context-Dependent Theorem Proving

The paper introduces a compiler-guided adaptive proof search framework for Lean 4 theorem proving, addressing the challenge of context-dependent proofs in real-world projects. It balances exploration and exploitation by generating diverse starting points via dual-model generation and resampling when stagnation occurs, while refining promising states using compiler-grounded pairwise comparison. Experiments on seven Lean 4 projects from miniCTX‑v2 demonstrate that the method improves average pass rates by 12.8 percentage points within a pass@32 budget and reduces LLM calls by 21.9 % compared to pass@k baselines.
