arXiv:2606.15258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly capable of mathematical problem solving and can even assist with research-level proofs, yet we still lack a scalable and reproducible way to measure step-level reasoning in long proofs across diverse sources. This evaluation gap limits trustworthy AI assistance in proof-certified scientific progress. Existing evaluations often emphasize final answers or rely on costly expert grading, while end-to-end proof generation remains open-ended and hard to verify automatically. We introduce Mask-Proof, a pipel
LLMs are rapidly advancing in mathematical problem-solving, making automated proof verification a crucial bottleneck for trustworthy AI assistance in scientific progress.
This development addresses a critical gap in evaluating sophisticated AI reasoning, enabling more reliable AI integration into complex problem-solving domains and scientific research.
The ability to scalably and reproducibly measure step-level reasoning in long proofs by LLMs introduces a new standard for AI evaluation beyond mere final answers.
