    RT @Robertljg: Really excited to share that our work on TorchLean at @Caltech, with @AnimaAnandkumar, has been selected for support through the 2026 AI for Math Fund, run by @RenPhilanthropy and funded by @xtxmarkets. Since releasing TorchLean, we’ve expanded from verified neural-network execution to autodiff, floating-point semantics, verification, and GPU execution; uncovered bugs and semantic mismatches across major ML stacks; and seen teams at major companies and U.S. national labs begin using it for ML verification. With this support, we’re excited to push toward formally verified GPU execution and GPU kernel verification—part of a broader goal of making AI and scientific computation trustworthy across the full stack. TorchLean: Congrats to all the winners!
