Latest update (11-10 07:05): The Sequence explains how AlphaProof and DeepSeekMath-V2 use proof checking for recursive improvement

Overview: The Sequence explains how AlphaProof, Goedel-Prover-V2 and DeepSeekMath-V2 use a generator paired with a checker to choose which proofs become training data. According to the article, Lean's kernel makes verifying a proof easier than finding one, and AlphaProof turns its search attempts into training material, including test-time reinforcement learning.

The article also notes a limit: a checker can confirm a proof is valid but cannot confirm that the stated theorem is the one intended.
