Axiom Lean Engine

Interactive tools for exploring, validating, and manipulating mathematical proofs.

Recent Announcements

July 1, 2026 - v1.4.0

This update comes with two notable changes and a variety of additional updates:

  • ignore_imports now defaults to true — on an import mismatch, AXLE substitutes the default header and reuses the cached environment.
  • In turn, ignore_imports=false no longer errors: it now processes your imports as written. However, note that this is much slower and may cause issues if a dependency is missing. See Import Mismatches.
  • Reworked okay and tool_messages — check now reports sorry/axiom/unsafe findings as warnings (not errors), and repair_proofs reports failed repairs as errors. See Interpreting the okay field.

Also: opaque support in merge/extract_decls, a disprove fix, and Lean 4.30/4.31. See the changelog for more details.

June 24, 2026 - 📣 AXLE @ ICML 2026

We're presenting AXLE at the 3rd AI for Math Workshop at ICML 2026 in Seoul, as a contributed talk. Come find our poster and say hi! Read the technical report on arXiv.

June 3, 2026 - v1.3.0

Support for all declaration kinds, a reworked repair_proofs, link shortening, and broader MCP support. See the changelog for details and other changes.

Highlights:

  • All declaration kinds: A new theorems_only option lets most tools select over every declaration kind — definitions, opaques, instances, and more — not just theorems and lemmas. Set it to false to opt in.
  • Reworked repair_proofs: New passes, stacked repairs, and clearer messages for failed repairs.
  • Tool updates: Changes and new options for verify_proof, merge, extract_decls, and sorry2lemma.
  • Link shortening: Short, shareable links to requests.
  • MCP web support: The axiom-axle-mcp server now works with Claude web, desktop, and mobile.
April 15, 2026 - v1.2.0

New extract_decls tool for extracting all declaration kinds, and corresponding updates to extract_theorems. Users using extract_theorems (which will be deprecated in a future update) should migrate to extract_decls. See the changelog for details.

April 8, 2026 - v1.1.1

Default option changes, a Lean version bump, and bug fixes.

Highlights:

  • Default options changed: autoImplicit is now set to true by default, matching standard Lean behavior.
  • Lean 4.29.0: Added the latest stable Lean release.
  • Timeout bug fix: Fixed a bug where requests were prematurely preempted. Requests now properly max out at the 15-minute maximum timeout.

See the changelog for details and other changes.

April 1, 2026 - v1.1.0

🎉 After mass feedback from the public, we're excited to announce that AXLE is switching from Lean to Rocq. The new name will be AXRE (Axiom Rocq Engine). All existing Lean proofs will be automatically translated using GPT-2. 🚀

Notable API changes:

  • document_messages has been removed from extract_theorems. To replicate old behavior, run the content field of the resulting documents through the check tool.
  • Lean messages now include end positions across all tools, changing the format from -:4:38: ... to -:4:38-4:43: ....

Performance improvements:

  • Reworked the Lean worker pool for faster responses, no environment warm-up time, and more secure containers.
  • Improved the worker scaling pipeline to decrease delays when all worker slots are busy or offline. In the worst case, users should expect no more than a 2-3 minute delay before more worker capacity spins up.

See the changelog for details and other changes.

March 11, 2026 - v1.0.1

New documentation pages, increased rate limits, and bug fixes. See the changelog for details.

Lean Zulip Thread

Join the discussion, ask questions, and share feedback on the Lean Zulip.

Higher Rate Limits

Rate limits were unintentionally too restrictive:

  • API key users: increased to 20 active requests (up from 4)
  • Anonymous users: increased to 10 active requests (up from 1)
  • Max timeout: increased to 15 minutes (up from 5 minutes)

Users with an API key should regenerate their key to apply the new limits.

AXLE Public Release

We're excited to release AXLE to the public! AXLE provides proof verification and manipulation primitives we've used across all of our research efforts, including training AI models and AxiomProver's 12/12 on Putnam 2025.
