I would expect it's the other way around. The AI wrote a Proof of NS in lean and write up a NL proof based on the lean one. The authors claim that openAI did NL -> Lean, but that is unsubstantiated.

The OpenAI announcement says

> The agents arrived at their resolution on Saturday, September 5, about 88 hours after the first agents were launched. Lean formalization and verification took an additional 17 hours via GPT‑6 Astra.

This seems pretty clear that they found the proof first and then mechanized it afterwards.
