At Galois, formal methods form the backbone of everything we do.

But what exactly are formal methods? How do they work, and why are they so important?

We're so glad you asked. Learn more here: www.galois.com/what-are-for...

With GAI4RDE, Galois developed RDE Wingman: an LLM-based, multi-agent framework that automates RDE workflows.

“In a single day, using RDE Wingman could save me 2 weeks of work,” said Galois Principal Scientist Joe Kiniry. “It’s making RDE 10 to 100X faster.”

This summer, as part of a project verifying the frontend of the Jolt zkVM, Galois intern Liza Pertseva and her team used an SMT solver to automate Lean proofs, saving over 6,800 lines of Lean code that would have been otherwise written by hand.

Once someone understands what formal methods are, their next question is typically "Where do I put them?"

Interactive Theorem Proving is time-consuming, tedious, and just plain hard.

So, Galois Principal Scientist @m-dodds.bsky.social tried using Claude Code for ITP.

Surprisingly, IT WORKED (with some big caveats)!

"It’s the people that have made my time here so special," said Galois intern Angel Gallegos. "Galois is full of really smart people, but everyone is down-to-earth and happy to talk. You’re always learning something new."

Big LLMs are great... unless you're working with sensitive data.

Galois intern Kevin Fisher spent the summer exploring how far local LLMs can go in code generation without sacrificing privacy.

Big news: Brad Martin has joined Galois as our newest principal scientist!

After nearly 40 years in federal service, Brad is bringing his vision + expertise in formal methods & cybersecurity to help us tackle some of the world’s biggest tech challenges.

Welcome to the team, Brad!

This summer, Galois intern @binarynewts.bsky.social explored how LLMs could help translate legacy C code into safe Rust. Their project, CNnotator, generates memory safety annotations for C code.

In our latest article, Ariel writes about the work that, in part, led to this award - and how rigorous verification techniques can unlock greater confidence and correctness in large-scale simulations, from climate models to public health interventions and beyond.

At Galois, we often say things like: “Formal methods form the backbone of everything we do.”

But what exactly are formal methods? How do they work, and why are they so important?

We created a handy reference page to explain: www.galois.com/what-are-for...

What actually works when selling formal methods in industry?

What doesn't?

The way Galois Principal Scientist @m-dodds.bsky.social sees it, many FM projects don’t pencil out not because clients are irrational, but because the cost/benefit tradeoffs don’t make sense.

OpenAI recently announced their new model, o3. Most media attention focused on its impressive results on the ARC-AGI benchmark, but for us at Galois, the most significant result was the model’s 25% score on a benchmark called Frontier Math.
