ATLAS: Autoformalized Textbook Library At ScaleATLAS (Autoformalized Textbook Library At Scale) directly instantiates the mathematical AI goals a Leiden-style declaration would endorse — large-scale formalization of mathematical knowledge using AI.
Formal Methods at Jane Street: Agentic Coding Changes the CalculusFormal Methods at Jane Street discusses how agentic AI changes the calculus of formal verification — a practical instantiation of the AI-mathematics relationship the Leiden Declaration addresses at a policy level.
Fermat's Last Theorem HTML DocumentationFermat's Last Theorem documentation in an AI company's repository exemplifies the intersection the Leiden Declaration addresses: AI organizations engaging seriously with mathematical foundations and proof
Anthropic Formalizes Fermat's Last Theorem in LeanThe Leiden Declaration addresses AI's role in mathematics; Anthropic's formal proof of FLT is a concrete, high-profile case study directly relevant to the declaration's concerns about AI-assisted mathematical reasoning
Open AthenaThe Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics calls for open, academically-grounded AI development — Open Athena's academic partnership model for open-source foundation models is a concrete institutional response to such principles
What Sort of Maths Are LLMs Good At?The Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics provides a formal framework for evaluating AI's role in mathematics, which directly contextualizes the capability analysis the new item performs
LLMs can't jumpThe Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics likely raises concerns about LLM limitations in genuine mathematical discovery; the 'manipulative abduction' thesis directly explains WHY LLMs struggle with novel scientific/mathematical invention rather than pattern-matched reasoning.
MarinMarin's open collaborative lab model aligns with the Leiden Declaration's call for transparency and open access in AI development, particularly for AI systems intersecting with mathematics and science
Palomar: Registry of Lean Verified MathematicsThe Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics directly relates to Palomar's mission — Palomar provides concrete infrastructure for verified mathematical knowledge that the Declaration advocates for, offering a trustworthy registry where AI-assisted proofs can be validated and preserved.
