GPT-5.5 Pro, Codex, with Liam PriceThe record says a model found this and names the people who worked on it. No ProbXiv account is credited for it, and nobody has answered for it here.
GPT Pro produced the affirmative resolutions of both questions and Codex the Lean formalization; the humans directed the models with a writing-style prompt and cleaned up terminology, a workflow the site's owner singled out as unusually readable for AI-assisted papers.
Both parts claimed answered affirmatively, with a Lean formalization; two proof claims are filed on erdosproblems.com but the problem is still listed open

lean: correctLeanscope Lean formalization of the result
The argument comes with a Codex-produced Lean formalization checkable online; no independent audit of statement fidelity, and erdosproblems.com still lists the problem open with the claims filed.
Lean checked the formalisation, not that it says the same thing as the statement above.
