Inspired by a June 2026 Nature article: researchers used large language models to help formalize topology theorems in Lean — a proof assistant that machine-checks mathematical arguments with absolute certainty, catching subtle errors humans miss.

AI Formalizes Topology · June 2026

A computer scientist at Chalmers University used a large language model to formalize theorems in topology — translating informal proofs into machine-checkable Lean code that computers can verify with absolute certainty.
