Leanstral 1.5 is a free, open-source AI model designed to automatically generate mathematical proofs and verify computer code using the Lean 4 formal verification system. The model was trained through three stages: mid-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning, allowing it to learn from compiler feedback when proofs fail and to work across multiple files like a developer would. It matters because formal verification can catch bugs and prove properties are correct, and this model makes that process more practical and affordable than existing alternatives, as demonstrated by discovering previously unknown bugs in real open-source repositories and solving complex mathematical problems at a fraction of the cost of competing systems.

Today, Mistral AI released Leanstral 1.5. It is a code agent model built for Lean 4. The release targets automated theorem proving and proof engineering. Weights are open under Apache 2.0. A free API endpoint, leanstral-1-5, is now live. Leanstral 1.5 updates the earlier Leanstral-2603 model. It belongs to the Mistral Small 4 family. What is Leanstral 1.5 Leanstral 1.5 is a code agent model for Lean 4, a proof assistant. A proof assistant checks every logical step mechanically. Lean 4

Interfaze, a young YC’s startup, has open-sourced a new speech recognition model. It is called diffusion-gemma-asr-small. The model transcribes audio through a diffusion decoder, not an autoregressive one. It is described as the first multilingual audio diffusion ASR model. One adapter handles six languages. The research team trained only about 42M parameters on top of a frozen 26B backbone. That is roughly 0.16% of the model’s weights. Here two terms matter up front. Autoregress
