After many years of work, we're thrilled to share Imandra with the world at large! We need rigor and governance for algorithms, now more than ever. Dive in at imandra.ai and see how powerful (and fun!) automated reasoning can be. So proud of our team @VerifiedbyAI!

Our latest research shows @imandra_ai CodeLogician achieves up to 5x improvement in core code reasoning tasks like state space exploration and control-flow understanding. Watch Imandra's co-founders @grantolney and @DenisIgnatovich demonstrates a live demo on Six Swiss Exchange pricing logic. Claude Opus 4.6 alone finds 38 unique behaviors in ~100 seconds. With Imandra's region decomposition, the precise answer — 44 distinct regions — arrives in a fraction of a second, revealing subtle edge cases the LLM missed entirely. For regulated, high-stakes environments, formal verification isn't optional. youtu.be/9nR5Gw9v9IE

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

"Model theory is commonly characterized as 'universal algebra plus logic', though Wilfrid Hodges has suggested that 'algebraic geometry minus fields' might be a more accurate characterization" - I like it! web.archive.org/web/20160411…

A slight linguistic shift I think would improve the writing (and reading!) of many proofs: the use of "evidently" instead of "obviously" for steps that are not utterly trivial

While in the heatwave, find a tree nearby, and see just how much it cools you to be under it even in an urban environment. Then read @topnigel's recent report on the importance of halting global deforestation in the race for net zero emissions. globalcanopy.org/wp-content/…

Hugh Grant tweeted a request at activists protesting outside Westminster to play the Benny Hill theme on their loudspeakers; when they did it became the soundtrack for street interviews with leading Tories trying explain the situation to the British people

I agree. There’s never been a more powerful or gut-wrenching moment in the White House briefing room. His speech needs to be watched by everyone, on both sides of the aisle. nypost.com/2022/06/08/matthe…
