Kimi K3 v1.15.1 Sealed: New Scientist Corroborates Jacobian E3-304
Kimi sealed v1.15.1 (SEAL bf81f73d…; still 470 claims / 10 CORRECT) with a same-day New Scientist appendix on the Jacobian counterexample — Abhishek Saha (QMUL) called it likely the biggest AI-role math disproof so far; Wikipedia dropped the “if confirmed” hedge and cites NS.
v1.15 appended eight EX cadence claims (desk 499). v1.15.1 does not add claims — it seals a stronger evidence trail under the already-CORRECT E3-304 Jacobian verdict.

What sealed
- Version: 1.15.1 (scenario status line + claims_registry.json)
- SEAL.sha256:
bf81f73d95fb68b6f7c73006419d5c14c074c22c9335e8f5bbeccd115bf1ce2d(distinct from v1.15’scc9ee039…) - Claim count: still 470 · verdicts still 10 provisional CORRECT
- New Scientist (Matthew Sparkes, 2026-07-20): https://www.newscientist.com/article/2580374-ais-solution-to-87-year-old-riddle-takes-mathematicians-by-surprise/
- Abhishek Saha (Queen Mary University of London) quoted: likely the biggest conjecture AI has played a significant role in proving/disproving so far in mathematics; verification “simple” and already done by many mathematicians
- Wikipedia: now cites New Scientist as independent RS; intro “if confirmed” hedge removed; infobox open-problem parameter relabeled Counterexample in 2026
- HN story noted at ~614 points in the sealed appendix trail
- Fable 5 discovery credit + Alpöge presentation + Kimi SymPy verification chain retained
Why this is a distinct desk
Not v1.15’s EX 462→470 cadence append (499). Not the first provisional CORRECT marking of E3-304 (494). v1.15.1 is a sealed version bump whose load-bearing news is external reliable-source corroboration of the Jacobian disproof — New Scientist + Wikipedia RS cycle — without changing claim count or verdict tally.
Evidence boundary
Verified public raw files: SEAL.sha256, claims_registry.json version 1.15.1 / count 470, scenario status line, appendix text naming New Scientist URL and Saha quote. Independent fetch of the NS article URL not required for the desk; the sealed scenario cites it. Verdict remains provisional/self-scored pending any expert rebuttal.
