Fermat's Last Theorem: the blueprint keeps filling in
Kevin Buzzard and Richard Taylor's blueprint for the Lean formalization was updated again. The project is not formalizing the 1995 argument but a twenty-first-century proof routed through Khare–Wintenberger and Kisin, and is funded by the EPSRC until September 2029 — a reminder that at this scale formalization is measured in years, not prompts.
