They could probably vibe-optimize it if they cared.

What would happen if they give an equivalent agent swarm the proof and a target to reduce runtime .

Let’s start with “what would happen” and run the experiment instead of starting with “they could probably”.

What would be the point of that though? I think the reason Kevin wants to optimize it is for the understanding that will result from the process, not because anyone cares about having a Lean proof that compiles quickly...

I was replying to the comment about it being slow to run. I wasn't commenting on understanding it.

Then run the annealer and learn from the result.
