Language Models Make Formal Verification Cheap
Language models keep lowering the cost of machine-checked proofs, so formal guarantees spread from small, hand-verified kernels into ordinary production libraries and become a recurring security and procurement standard.

Anthropic and the startup Theorem had Claude produce assembly-level crash-freedom proofs for 239 entry points across 123 OSS-Fuzz libraries, about 180 million lines of Rocq. Turning existing fuzz harnesses into formal specs extends machine-checked guarantees to ordinary libraries. Coverage is still limited to single-threaded static RISC-V binaries.
