Vasily Ilin Posts Bounded Prime Gaps Timeline

Vasily Ilin, founding director of the UW Math AI Lab, posted a tweet recounting the history of bounded gaps between primes. The post states de Polignac conjectured bounded gaps in 1849. It says Yitang Zhang proved a gap of at most 70,000,000 in 2013, Polymath8a reduced it to 4680 that year, Maynard and Tao reached 600, and Polymath8b reached 246 in 2014. The tweet notes no further progress from 2014 to 2026 before referencing an event on August 31, 2026.
