The story’s score and claims

Proofs are cheap now. Specs are next

Summary

GenProof's QuickProof lets developers write a C library's specification as a small C program with nondeterministic inputs, assumptions and assertions. The tool turns it into a Rocq theorem, AI agents prove it in the Verified Software Toolchain, and a checker confirms the statement is unchanged. GenProof reports more than 300 bugs across dozens of projects, including a Redis listpack incompatibility between 8.6 and 8.8, and a zstd bug. The Linux CVE, the proof-size comparison and the OSS-Verify critique are the company's own claims, not independently checked.
