Cobblestone: A Divide-and-Conquer Approach for Automating Formal Verification

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Cobblestone uses a divide-and-conquer approach with large language models to automate formal verification in software development

advanced Published 8 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Divide the proof into smaller sub-proofs using a divide-and-conquer strategy
  2. Use a large language model (LLM) to generate potential proofs for each sub-proof
  3. Combine the generated proofs to form a complete proof
  4. Refine and verify the generated proof using proof assistants like Coq
