Interesting... But I don't think formal software verification is going to be the answer (is that what this is? Kind of unclear.)

It's too difficult and doesn't scale well to many real world programs - how do you formally verify Facebook?

We'll probably be stuck with normal testing and at least skimming code for a while.

Funny you say that while OpenAI and rest of the world rely on Lean and other formal systems to power through (or sometime brute force) math problems.
