A model-authored manuscript replaces an intermediate sieve in the 2018 Ford–Green–Konyagin–Maynard–Tao argument and claims a factor log_3 T/(log_4 T)^2 improvement. Ben Green publicly reported becoming broadly convinced after consulting Tao and Maynard; a separate Lean transcription was later posted.
