Actual meat: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.20765
Isn't it actually the bread? The meat is given, if I understand correctly.
I am not a mathematician but are most papers now accompanied by a lean proof?
Is there a central repository of lean proofs shared by mathematicians like an npm repository of JavaScript packages?
Does it all depend on a stupid is-odd package in the end?
No, almost none (except for in certain fields, such as HoTT) have formalized proofs.
It's new but there is actually a registry now: https://palomar-registry.org/
LLMs have gotten good at creating Lean proofs so the are much more common but not universal. And they depend on https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4
Seems like this would have strong implications for distillation and/or smaller types of transformers!
No, this is pure graph theory, and is quite far away from anything machine learning.
How? I don't see it. (I'm familiar with the ML side, not the combinatorics side.)
