OpenAI's internal frontier model proved and formalized in Lean the main result of 'A product counterexample to the simplex maximum for projection-body volume'. The product of two ten-dimensional simplices has larger normalized projection-body volume than a twenty-dimensional simplex. This gives a counterexample to Brannen's proposed simplex maximum.
