New OpenAI repo: Lean proof by GPT-6-Astra bounds consecutive prime gaps at 186
scaling01 · x · 2026-09-04
A new OpenAI repository shared by scaling01 reportedly contains a Lean formalization, attributed to GPT-6-Astra, proving there are infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes whose distance is at most 186 — a stronger bound in the bounded-prime-gaps line of work opened by Yitang Zhang. If verified, it marks rapid progress for frontier models in formal mathematics, though the model name and details remain unconfirmed.
