OpenAI Releases Conditional Lean Formalization for Prime Gaps at Most 186
OpenAI repo provides conditional Lean formalization proving infinitely many prime pairs differ by at most 186.
TLDR
Pseudonymous commentator Lisan al Gaib posted on X about a GitHub repository from OpenAI titled Prime Gaps at Most 186 that contains a conditional Lean formalization produced by GPT-6-Astra. The post claims the formalization shows infinitely many consecutive primes differ by at most 186. Weijie Su announced on X that GPT-6-Astra produced the formalization and linked PDFs detailing factorization conditions and Maynard-Tao sieve weights. Mathematician Levent Alpöge noted an earlier formalization at 188; Weijie Su's post referenced prior work at 246. The repository describes the formalization as conditional and includes a numerical certificate. Replies on X praised the advance while others questioned whether the conditional status overstates the claim.
