VibeMathed reports this item as candidate. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.
Precise statement
Write $H_1 = \liminf_{n\to\infty}(p_{n+1}-p_n)$. Announced on 1 September 2026: $H_1 \le 236$, building on Stadlmann's $240$ of the previous day.
The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement
fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
What AI did
unspecified AI agents
Kintali's own words on X: "I showed that H1 <= 236 with the help of AI, building on Julia Stadlmann's work." He describes the method as the GPY approach with the Maynard-Tao sieve, and says he then stopped his AI agents and moved to another problem. That is the whole of the public disclosure: no model is named, the division of labour is not described, and there is no preprint.
The thinnest source of the three 2026 bounded-gaps entries, and recorded as Candidate for that reason. An announcement on X with no preprint, no named model and no argument in public. It is recorded because a bound is a bound and this one held the record for two days between Stadlmann's 240 and Axiom Math's 212; it is not recorded as settled. If a preprint appears, this entry should be revisited.
