Z3

Z3 is a high-performance theorem prover developed at Microsoft Research. It is a built-in tool of GenAIScript. Z3 is used to solve logical formulas and can be used for various applications, including program verification, constraint solving, and symbolic execution.

GenAIScript uses the WebAssembly-based z3-solver npm package to run Z3.

Z3 tool

The z3 tool (in system.z3) script wraps Z3 as a LLM tool that can be used in GenAIScript. The tool takes a SMTLIB2 formula as input and returns the Z3 output.

script({
    tools: "z3"
})


script({
    title: "Use Z3 tool to solve SMT2 problems",
    tools: "z3",
})


$`Solve the following problems using Z3:


(declare-const a Int)
(declare-fun f (Int Bool) Int)
(assert (< a 10))
(assert (< (f a true) 100))
(check-sat)

The tool won’t handle arbitrary problems, which takes us to the agent.

Z3 agent

The z3 agent (in system.agent-z3) script wraps the z3 tool with a LLM that can (try to) formalize arbitrary problems to SMTLIB2.

script({
    tools: ["agent_z3"],
})


$`Solve the following problems using Z3:


Imagine we have a number called 'a' that is smaller than 10.
We also have a special machine called 'f' that takes a number and a 'true'/'false' answer,
and it gives back another number.
When we put the number 'a' and the answer “true” into this machine,
the number it gives us is smaller than 100.`
