    Lanyon AI's own benchmark has five frontier models write PDE solvers with Lean proofs, and finds they often prove something other than the code they wrote

    The test targets a failure this record tracks: a proof that type-checks but is about different code. Under the terse prompt, both Claude models proved a first-order, CFL=1 special case for the second-order solver they had written, and some GPT and Kimi runs used native_decide to skip kernel checking. It shows what comparing a proof against the code can catch, and how much the prompt decides.

Research entries are the timeline's graded entries that name this company. A level grades one claim, not the company, and a blank can mean the record has not caught up rather than that nothing was published.
