An explicit counterexample to the Auslander-Reiten conjecture

Does the classical conjecture or property hold, or does there exist a counterexample as established in An explicit counterexample to the Auslander-Reiten conjecture?

OpenAI's internal frontier model proved and formalized in Lean the main result of 'An explicit counterexample to the Auslander-Reiten conjecture'. We disprove the Auslander–Reiten conjecture for Artin algebras. We construct a finite-dimensional algebra Λ over k=\mathbb F_2(q,H_1,H_2) and a finite-dimensional nonprojective left module Z such that \mathop{\mathrm{Ext}}\nolimits ^i_\Lambda(Z,Z)=\mathop{\mathrm{Ext}}\nolimits ^i_\Lambda(Z,\Lambda)=0 for every i > 0. The module is Gorenstein-projective, so the same example also disproves the Gorenstein-projective conjecture. Both counterexamples persist after every extension of k.
