- meekaale reports being "in shock": Astra overnight discovered a previously unknown mathematical conjecture — Brockman's conjecture.
- In the very same turn, the model formalized it in Lean and conclusively proved the conjecture false.
- A notable showcase of end-to-end mathematical research capability: conjecture → formalization → disproof in one pass.
