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

The paper introduces h1, a simple agentic loop that interfaces a language model with Lean 4, avoiding complex human-designed workflows. h1 achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on benchmarks such as PutnamBench, FATE‑X, and FormalConjectures100‑Solved, solving eight open problems and matching or surpassing specialized systems like Goedel‑Architect and AlphaProof Nexus. Experiments show that an efficient Lean interface is crucial for cost and success, suggesting that future evaluations should prioritize execution feedback over elaborate workflows.
