Eight-page prime-gap paper is claimed to achieve a double-log factor over the Erdős–Rankin bound

At only 8 pages, "Improved long gaps between primes" obtained the first double-log factor over the Erdos-Rankin bound in almost a century. All other results (themselves rightly recognized as breakthroughs in the field, Erdos offered $10,000) by humans only obtained triple-log… Show more

@jconorgrogan I am willing to predict no LLM (say in the next 5 years though might as well be indefinite) will *prove* (rather than disprove) a major open conjecture using an argument that's more than 10-20 pages long when written properly.
