OpenAI repo claims GPT-6-Astra Lean-formalized a prime-gaps bound of 186
scaling01 · x · 2026-09-04
A new OpenAI GitHub repo, PrimeGaps186, claims a Lean 4 formalization by GPT-6-Astra proving infinitely many consecutive prime pairs with gaps of at most 186. Key points:
- The repo includes Lean code plus a Python numerical certificate, deriving DHL[40,2]: every admissible set of 40 shifts has infinitely many translates containing at least two primes
- The result is conditional on three explicit input axioms — the cited estimates and numerics are not yet Lean-proved
- The name echoes the gpt-6-astra traces found in Codex, further corroborating the codename rumor
It reads more as a demo of frontier-model math formalization than a new theorem.
