Definition

Plain language

The large machine-checked math library this system produced by formalizing twenty-six textbooks.

As stated in the literature

A machine-generated Lean library of 45,000+ verified declarations (~500K lines) spanning 26 graduate textbooks, produced largely autonomously by AutoformBot; reaches the same order of magnitude of declarations as the human-built mathlib.

Why it matters: It shows that machines can build trustworthy math libraries at a scale once thought to require huge human effort.

For example, instead of a mathematician spending months hand-translating a textbook into machine-checkable form, this library captured twenty-six of them with verified proofs.

Heard on the show

“The output — they call the library ATLAS — is more than forty-five thousand verified Lean declarations.”
