AI-assisted proof verifies optimal packing of 11 squares
What happened
On October 7, the Hacker News front page reported that an AI-assisted optimality proof for the 11-square packing problem has been verified in Lean. The EvolvingPrograms verification run accepted all 7,920 local Lean modules, with a final audit result of zero admissions. The proof gives an optimal side-length formula whose constructed value is about 3.8770835900228141773. The project pins Lean 4.34.1 and a specified Mathlib version and supports reproducible verification. The reported progress is that proof verification is complete and passed the final audit.
