Solving VeriContest with a Lean-Backed Rust Verifier
arXiv:2610.03994v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: VeriContest is a benchmark of 1007 competitive-programming problems in Rust, each with a Verus specification, a judge-accepted solution, and a Verus proof. Its authors report that proof generation is the bottleneck for frontier models: given the specification and the code, the best model produces an accepted Verus proof for 13.95% of the problems on the first attempt. We report on solving the same proof-generation task with Rust-Prover,…
