- 2026-10-06: [doubleAI's 'Double Agent' claims explicit regular graphs of girth (8/5)·log n, beating the 4/3 constant of Margulis and Lubotzky–Phillips–Sarnak (1988)](https://postcutoff.com/e/2026-10-06-doubleai-high-girth-regular-graphs-8-5/), Science & math. Amnon Shashua's start-up doubleAI posted a 40-page paper credited only to its AI 'Double Agent': for every prime power q, explicit (q³+1)-regular graphs with girth ≥ (8/5)·log_{q³} n − O(1), improving the 4/3 constant that had stood since 1988. A Lean proof is posted; the company says it ran autonomously for under $2,000 of compute. Not peer-reviewed.
