What's new

To bridge this gap, we introduce Vero, the first benchmark to evaluate joint implementation and proof synthesis at the repository level.

Key details

  • View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:AI agents are increasingly used for programming, but do not provide any guarantee on the correctness of generated code.
  • Verified code generation, in which an agent produces both an implementation and a machine-checked proof of its specification, offers a stronger path toward trustworthy AI-generated software.
  • Existing benchmarks in this direction either focus on individual functions or only evaluate proof generation with provided implementations.
  • It is still an open question whether agents can make coherent implementation and proof choices across real multi-module codebases.

Results & evidence

  • Computer Science > Machine Learning [Submitted on 13 Aug 2026] Title:Vero: Can AI Agents Build Formally Verified Software Repositories?
  • Vero contains 43 multi-module instances sourced from real-world repositories spanning Python, Dafny, Verus, and Coq, and covering diverse domains from cryptographic protocols to distributed systems.
  • Each instance consists of a multi-module Lean 4 repository with predetermined API interfaces, manually curated formal specifications, and reference implementations, supporting both proof-only and code-and-proof evaluation modes.
