Definition
Plain language
One of the automated math-proving systems used as a comparison point for cost and accuracy.
As stated in the literature
An automated theorem-proving system benchmarked on competition mathematics (e.g., PutnamBench); cited as a high-accuracy but expensive baseline against agentic autoformalization approaches.
Why it matters: It serves as a reference point for judging whether cheaper theorem-proving approaches sacrifice too much accuracy.
For example, when comparing math-proving systems, a team might note that Aleph reaches high accuracy but costs far more to run than a lighter alternative.
