A full derandomization of randomized log space Matrix multiplication in \(n^{2.25+\epsilon}\) time (formalized in Lean) And many many more. I had Claude put together a webpage to make it easier to explore the TCS-related results. Now these proofs haven't been fully verified but if they hold up,…

Though its truth was never in serious doubt, there was a whole subcommunity focused on proving this. The Fourier Transform and integer multiplication in less than O(n log n) time, breaking a barrier that had stood since the 1960s. The new running time, if you’re curious, is O(n log 0.9999999999999…
