FormalTCS - Proof Elicitation: leaderboard

FormalTCS (2026) benchmarks LLMs on frontier theoretical computer science research over 143 instances from 2025-2026 conference papers, each annotated in natural language and in Lean 4. LLM-rubric score for writing a natural-language proof from the theorem, in percent; higher is better.

Metric: LLM-rubric score (0-100) from a Qwen3.8-Max judge in QoderCLI, a model outside the evaluated families, weighted 0.4 logical validity, 0.3 completeness, 0.2 correctness and 0.1 clarity; one deterministic generation; natural-language proof written from the natural and formal theorem; 143 instances from theoretical computer science papers accepted at STOC, FOCS, SODA, COLT and similar venues in 2025-2026, each stage given the human-annotated input; each model runs in its own vendor harness. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around September 2027. 8 models tracked.
