Formalizing the Enormous Theorem

Axiom Math

Axiom Math used AI agent swarms to create the first computer-verified proof of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups—a 15,000-page theorem spanning 500+ papers—producing 43.1 million lines of Lean code in 24 days. The process discovered significant errors in the original proof and led AI agents to produce a new mathematical theorem, demonstrating AI's potential for both verification and original contribution in advanced mathematics.
