Researchers introduce VASO, a framework that combines formal verification with self-evolving language model skills for robot control, achieving 97.2% specification compliance on physical tasks. The approach bridges formal methods and foundation models by using counterexamples from model checking as optimization feedback for skill contracts rather than modifying underlying model weights.
Researchers present new confidence sequence methods for statistical model checking of Markov decision processes in online settings, achieving 50x sample efficiency improvements over previous approaches. The work addresses the practical problem of obtaining meaningful guarantees when exact transition probabilities are unknown, with applications to cyber-physical and biological systems.
Researchers have developed TLA-Prover, a 20-billion-parameter AI model that significantly improves the synthesis of TLA+ formal specifications for distributed systems, achieving 30% correctness on verified benchmarks—roughly 3.5x better than previous baselines. The model combines supervised fine-tuning with repair-based policy optimization and uses TLC model checker feedback directly as a reward signal, eliminating the need for learned reward models.
TraceFix is a verification-first framework that uses TLA+ model checking to automatically repair and validate multi-agent LLM coordination protocols, achieving 100% verification success on 48 test tasks with 62.5% passing on first attempt. The approach reduces deadlock/livelock failures from 31.1% to 14.1% and improves task completion rates to 89.4% compared to unverified baselines.
