Anthropic just open-sourced FlashProve, which lets you check which AI model actually wrote a reply checkable on an ordinary CPU. e.g. if you pay for a top AI model through a reseller, you can’t check whether it quietly served a cheaper one. Anthropic’s FlashProve lets the server prove mathematically which model answered. Anthropic tested it on Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick, a large 400B-parameter open model, where a single Nvidia H100 GPU produced proofs at 110 tokens/second, each about 19MB. A regular CPU checks each proof in about 17 seconds, while VerInf, the only earlier system known to prove this model, made 93.6GB proofs that took almost a day to check. Claude built the system, and because its code is hard to audit, the security guarantees are mathematically proved in Lean 4, a proof-checking language,
