Introduction

We introduce BFS-Prover-V2, the state-of-the-art open-source step-level theorem proving system for Lean4, designed to address the dual challenges of scaling both training and inference in neural theorem proving. BFS-Prover-V2 introduces novel solutions to overcome these limitations through:

1. Training-time scaling: A novel multi-stage expert iteration framework with adaptive tactic-level data filtering and periodic retraining to surmount the performance plateaus that typically curtail long-term post training

2. Inference-time scaling: A planner-enhanced multi-agent tree search system for hierarchical reasoning that scales performance at inference time

BFS-Prover-V2 achieves 95.08% and 41.4% on the miniF2F and ProofNet test sets respectively, setting a new state-of-the-art for step-level provers.

This repo contains the BFS-Prover-V2-32B model, with the following features:

• Base Model: Qwen2.5-32B
• Training Approach: Multi-stage expert iteration with best-first tree search
• Training Data Sources:
  • Mathlib (via LeanDojo)
  • Lean-Github repositories
  • Autoformalized NuminaMath datasets
  • Goedel-Pset

Usage

• The model expects input in the format "{state}:::" where {state} is a Lean4 tactic state.
• ::: serves as a special indicator to signal the model to generate a tactic for the given state.
• The model will echo back the input state followed by the generated tactic.

# Example code for loading and using the tactic generator model
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ByteDance-Seed/BFS-Prover-V2-32B")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ByteDance-Seed/BFS-Prover-V2-32B")

# imo_1964_p2 from miniF2F
state = """a b c : ℝ

    h₀ : 0 < a ∧ 0 < b ∧ 0 < c

    h₁ : c < a + b

    h₂ : b < a + c

    h₃ : a < b + c

    ⊢ a ^ 2 * (b + c - a) + b ^ 2 * (c + a - b) + c ^ 2 * (a + b - c) ≤ 3 * a * b * c"""

# Tactic generation
sep = ":::"
prompt = state + sep
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs)
tactic = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True).split(sep)[1]
print(tactic)

# Generated tactic: "nlinarith [sq_nonneg (a - b), sq_nonneg (c - a), sq_nonneg (b - c)]"
