I guess we might find out, the AMA is ongoing. Nothing in his list of current publications though.

he says they are using a lot of different stuff, e.g., Z3 standalone, CVC4 standalone, Dafny.

he says one could/should use massive distributed proof search (e.g., for inductive invariants), and this is not widely done in any system/proof assistant right now. Take single question, apply 10k machines, get linear speedups.

One example where they have used Coq: Continuous Formal Verification of Amazon s2n, CAV '18 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-96142-2_26

Yes, Byron already talked about using Coq in his keynote at FLOC 2018.

IIRC they used it to formally verify some SSL/TLC protocol or stuff like that.

FWIW, they are not using only Coq since they have John Harrison as one of their employees...

if I understood correctly they've recently hired Michael Ernst (part-time?) and previously they have Rustan Leino as well. Lots of FM expertise there.
