Some would argue more for Wiles or Perelman on account of solving long-standing conjectures.

Gauss 2.0; He’s very prolific, very famous in the math community. In this context, he is noteworthy because he’s taking automated theorem proving seriously which destigmatizes it for other pure mathematicians.

Lean is a lovely language ecosystem, as Tao clearly demonstrates though, LLMs can struggle with it. The language and the tooling is designed heavily around not merely text code, but continuous feedback from a specialized shell, though Tao attributes the issue to another condition, that there are two acutely similar versions of the language.
