Can LLMs Write Correct TLA+ Specifications? Evaluating Natural-Language-to-TLA+ Generation

Researchers conducted the first systematic evaluation of Large Language Models' ability to generate correct TLA+ formal specifications from natural language, testing 30 LLMs across 2,730 runs. Results show LLMs achieve only 8.6% semantic correctness despite 26.6% syntactic correctness, indicating current models cannot reliably produce formal specifications without expert oversight.
