Multi-agent LLM system solves hundreds of open math problems without human steering

Bolzano, an open-source system combining parallel prover agents with a verifier, answered four questions from STOC 2026 papers and solved about 200 open problems across combinatorics and theoretical computer science.

The authors built Bolzano, a multi-agent system where parallel prover agents propose informal proofs and a verifier agent checks them, all maintaining a human-readable research state.

The authors developed Bolzano, an open-source multi-agent system for automated mathematical proof search.
