Stream: Machine Learning for Theorem Proving

Topic: I was pleasantly surprised by DeepSeek

So a recent experience with DeepSeek was quite nice. I asked it to prove a statement of the existence of a quotient map and I for example had no idea what was needed for the context. To my big surprise it generated a completely valid proof skeleton. Everything else was broken however.

The proof skeleton itself was worth fixing though, as it compiled after an hour of tinkering. The funny thing is now that I have a compiling proof I gained much insight in what parts of the statement were crucial and which weren't. I thought that I needed an algebra homomorphism but the formalisation said a ring homomorphism is enough, which makes my life just a little bit nicer.

It also structured in which order I have to create the quotients, which was difficult for me to understand how to do it properly.

Which DeepSeek model are you talking about?

metakuntyyy (May 21 2025 at 05:11):

No idea, I just used a free website. I think it was this one https://notegpt.io/chat-deepseek

Jason Rute (May 21 2025 at 12:03):

Thanks. Do you use the think button or not?

metakuntyyy (May 30 2025 at 11:36):

I don't know what you mean by think button. I just typed the query I wanted. It spit me out some lean code and I manually fixed it. Unfortunately I didn't save the query and I can't reconstruct what it spit out.

But it was something along the lines of.
Let n be a natural number, p a prime dividing it. Let m be a r-th primitive root of unity. Assume that (X^n+a)=(X+a)^n in Zn[X]/(X^r-1). Show that... or something like that

Maybe the UI is not like this any more but it used to look like this:

In particular, there was a DeepThink button.

Jason Rute (May 30 2025 at 11:44):

Actually, the UI you mentioned (https://notegpt.io/chat-deepseek) has this also.

metakuntyyy (May 30 2025 at 11:44):

Again, I'm using notegpt, this is how it looks for me

Jason Rute (May 30 2025 at 11:44):

Yes, right there is a DeepThink (R1) button. But from context is seems you don't use it.

metakuntyyy (May 30 2025 at 11:49):

It appears not. I typed the query and pressed the enter key.
