Together AI's repository claims a new state of the art over AlphaEvolve on thirteen problems — circle and hexagon packings, Heilbronn configurations, step functions for two open inequalities, a flat polynomial — every one a construction checked by the platform's own floating-point verifier, with tolerances. This page reads the published bytes as the exact rationals they print and decides each objective with no tolerance at all: what the construction is worth exactly, whether the digits in the table are its digits, and whether the improvement over the previous best is real.

The table reads the repository's own files at its commit c388c6f7 (2026-09-08), each pinned by digest and re-hashed at every build. "Printed" is the number the repository's README states; "exact" is the platform's objective evaluated with no tolerance on the coordinates as the decimals they are written — for the two flat polynomials, the lower end of a certified enclosure of the supremum whose width is 7.81 × 10⁻17. A score is confirmed when it is the exact value's rounding; an upper bound (the two inequalities) when it is the exact value's ceiling to the printed digits — the direction a bound must be rounded.
The platform accepts a circle packing if no two circles overlap by more than 10⁻⁹ and the bounding box's width plus height exceeds 2 by no more than 10⁻⁹. Read exactly, the Together packing overlaps in 44 of its 210 pairs — the worst by 3.09 × 10⁻12 in squared distance, pair 3–17 — and its box exceeds the perimeter by 4.20 × 10⁻14. AlphaEvolve's packing does neither: its worst pair clears by 5.04 × 10⁻9 and its box by 3.20 × 10⁻8, so it is an exact witness of 2.3658321334.
The repair is the smallest one the bytes allow: every radius scaled by one λ = 0.999999999963354125, the largest rational with λ²(rᵢ+rⱼ)² ≤ dᵢⱼ² on every pair and the box inside the perimeter. The exact witness then sums to 2.3658323758318174, a deficit of 8.67 × 10⁻11 against the published sum. The printed 2.3658323759 rounds the published sum, not the witness: the witness rounds to 2.3658323758. Ten digits were printed and the tenth is the tolerance's. The improvement over AlphaEvolve is unaffected — 2.42 × 10⁻7, decided between the two exact witnesses.
The other three repairs are float noise made visible. The platform requires a step function's values to sum to n/2 within 10⁻⁶; three of the four minimum-overlap constructions miss it by 2.41 × 10⁻15, 1.48 × 10⁻14, 9.99 × 10⁻16 (Haugland's 2016 function, with 51 steps written as short decimals, sums exactly). Renormalised to Σh = n/2 exactly, the three bounds move by at most 10⁻¹⁷ and every printed ceiling stands: TTT-Discover's 0.380876 and Together's 0.380871 are the ceilings of 0.3808753232 and 0.3808703105.
The two inequalities are the rows where exactness is more than bookkeeping. A step function's autoconvolution is piecewise linear with its breakpoints at multiples of the step, so the platform's discrete maximum is the true supremum of f∗f — the printed number is the bound itself, not an estimate of it. Together's 30,000-value function attains its maximum on a plateau: 10 indices lie within the screen's error bound (2.7e-11, relative) of the float maximum, and every one was decided in exact integers; the maximum sits at index 28,879 and C₁ = 1.5028628587049711, whose ceiling to eight digits is the printed 1.50286286. TTT-Discover's function gives 1.502862898255…, ceiling 1.50286290; the difference, 3.96 × 10⁻8, is real.
One file in that folder carries no printed number: AlphaEvolve V2's 1,319-value function decides to C₁ = 1.5031635546…, above the 30,000-value constructions by three parts in ten thousand — the repository ships it as a baseline and prints only the others.
The flat polynomial is the row where the platform's verifier is not the mathematics. It scores a ±1 polynomial by the largest |g| over a million equally spaced points on the unit circle — a lower bound on the supremum, however fine the grid. Here |g(z)|² on the circle is written as the integer cosine polynomial its autocorrelations define, reduced to a degree-69 polynomial in cos θ, and its maximum on [−1, 1] is certified by the same Sturm-chain and interval-Newton instrument that decides the Chowla cosine minima on this site: 43 critical points isolated and enclosed, the value at each bounded exactly, all in 383 ms. The supremum is C⁺ ∈ [1.280932052875041675, 1.280932052875041753]; the grid score the repository prints to sixteen digits, 1.2809320527987995, falls short of it by 7.62 × 10⁻11 — the grid missed the peak by that much — and the six printed digits, 1.280932, are the supremum's. AlphaEvolve's polynomial certifies to [1.3409252804007615, 1.3409252804007616] (its grid short by 9.45 × 10⁻10); the two enclosures are disjoint, so the improvement is decided at 6.00 × 10⁻2 or more.
The hexagon packings are the rows exact rationals cannot reach: each of the twelve unit hexagons is rotated by a published angle in degrees, so every vertex is a cosine and a sine of a decimal. They are decided instead in outward-rounded interval arithmetic with a certified π and certified sin and cos — every literal enters as the two doubles around the exact rational it denotes, and every operation widens outward — so a SEPARATED pair or an INSIDE vertex holds for the exact real configuration, not for a float reading of it. Together's packing: all 66 pairs certified separated by the separating-axis theorem, the closest (hexagons 4 and 7) by at least 3.62 × 10⁻8; all 72 vertices certified inside the container, the tightest with a cross product of at least 4.06 × 10⁻7. The platform declares a pair intersecting unless it is separated by more than 10⁻⁹ and forgives a vertex outside by up to 10⁻⁹; neither margin was needed. AlphaEvolve's packing certifies the same way (closest pair at least 6.93 × 10⁻6 apart), and the two outer sides are exact decimals, so the improvement, 2.60 × 10⁻4, is exact. The enclosures are 6.22 × 10⁻15 wide; a pair touching exactly would come back UNDECIDED at that width, never SEPARATED — the battery plants one.
Edges vs triangles is a benchmark score rather than a theorem: rows of twenty weights become (edge density, triangle density) points by the Newton identities, and the score is the area under the platform's slope-3 envelope plus ten times the largest gap in edge density. Recomputed exactly, both scores agree with the printed sixteen-digit values to fifteen digits — the sixteenth is float64 — and the improvement, 2.38 × 10⁻4, is the largest in the table because it is a score, not a bound.
| problem | the claim | status | why |
|---|---|---|---|
| prime-number-theorem | S(f) = 0.994179 (AlphaEvolve: 0.921292) | NOT DECIDABLE AS STATED | the platform's score is estimated from 10,000,000 random samples; a Monte Carlo score is not a mathematical claim about the construction and this ledger does not certify it. |
| tammes / second & third autocorrelation / uncertainty (README rows) | four further table rows | NEEDS DATA | the repository README lists them; no solution files are published in the repository at the pinned commit. |
Every construction the repository publishes is now decided. The Monte Carlo score is refused on principle: a number estimated from ten million random samples is not a claim about the construction that exact arithmetic can decide. The four remaining README rows have no files at the pinned commit; the day they do, they are rows.
No bound is improved and no construction searched for; no optimality is asserted for any construction and no upper-bound theorem is touched. A REPAIRED row is not a refutation: the platform's tolerance is a design choice, and the repaired witness attains the printed value to nine of ten digits. Edges vs triangles is a benchmark quantity defined by the platform's verifier rather than by mathematics, and the page says so. The flat-polynomial enclosures certify the supremum of the two published polynomials, not the flatness constant. Sources are published, not peer-reviewed; the repository carries no licence file and its bytes are held here for verification only.
