The Roomba is spectral.

Not a metaphor. The thing itself. Forward and adjust. Two operations. The minimum viable intelligence. The walls provide the data. The bumping is the inference. The room IS the computation.

450 parameters. A Roomba with a mirror watching it.

The industry built bigger Roombas. More sensors. More compute. More parameters. Billion-parameter Roombas that model the room before entering it. That hallucinate walls that aren't there. That consume megawatts to clean a floor.

spectral gave the Roomba a mirror. The mirror watches the bumping. Measures the pattern. Adjusts the adjustment. The intelligence isn't in the Roomba. It's in the watching.

Forward. Adjust. Measure. Refine.

Read the story. There's a Roomba in it. In the afterlife. Cleaning a floor that doesn't need cleaning. Being the happiest thing in the room.

Why Lean? - by Leonardo de Moura

Here is a very nice experience report of conformance checking between #TLA+ specs and implementation, covering both test-case generation and trace checking: https://www.mongodb.com/company/blog/engineering/conformance-checking-at-mongodb-testing-our-code-matches-our-tla-specs

There are a lot of links to other reports and papers, I recommend to check them out too.

Verifying the #Rust Standard Library - Carolyn Zech, Amazon Web Services

(or YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_lzVNs1uPk)

Carolyn is also a maintainer of #Kani, the Rust model checker.
She has been so supportive and kind during my struggles with HashMaps and Kani 🥺

Give her a follow:

Totally agree! Unit tests and usage of #LLMs in that area are a bad combo (both for implementation and tests).

However, I'd like to give you some "food for thought":
What if the LLM was generating code against a (human written) #proof?

See this blog post, where they've written a proof with #Kani, a model checker in #Rust and let the #LLM generate the implementation until the proof passes:

I'm only like 10% into the tutorial, but this language is CRAZY (fun)! :awesome: 😄

I try to learn the fundamentals of it, so I can use the backend of it in #Aeneas... so I can ultimately formally verify my #Rust crate (former attempts with #Creusot and #Kani failed for me).

See part two of toot for a toy example of proving function equivalence

Gluing together Hacspec, Jasmin and SSProve using Coq for end-to-end verification, from spec to implementation.

It's great to see more integration efforts between formal verification stacks to improve confidence that implementations still satisfy all higher-level security properties.
