Boris Power congratulates contributors on a math bound improvement
Overview
On October 20, 2026, OpenAI's Boris Power congratulated everyone involved in recent progress optimizing math results, in a post on X. The post links to a pull request in a quasi-RH hillclimb repository, where Rohan Arun reports lowering the zero-free half-plane bound from θ = 7/8 to θ ≤ 0.874810282.
Arun says the repository accepts candidate solutions without a Lean proof, which may make it easier for auto-researchers to contribute.
