Bounded gaps between primes — mentioned by ggcr

Reminds me, kinda, to when Astra was launched and OpenAI announced an improvement to the bounded prime gap. Which BTW, Prof. Julia Stadlmann had published an independent result only a few days earlier Stadlmann improved it from 246 to 240, OpenAI later claimed 186 I think? Maybe someone can help clarify? I am no expert at all, but I can't help but see similarities. [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.31126

Just two days ago, a preprint by Julia Stadlmann went up on arXiv [0] improving the prime gap from 246 to 240. Now OpenAI announces Astra has shown a gap of 186 [1]. That must really blow. [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.31126 [1] https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/51126fac-1b68-4128-9666-c908bcc16...
