Levent Alpöge, Philippe Voinov and Saul Reynolds-Haertle, using Claude (version undisclosed)That credit came with the record as it was imported. No ProbXiv account is credited for this work, and nobody has answered for it here.
The announcement itself is a bare sign string, but Alpoge's thread carries a credit line: "weekend fun w @tehwalris, Saul Reynolds-Haertle, and of course claude:)) i only claim bad suggestions!!" - which corroborates the three named collaborators (@tehwalris is Philippe Voinov) and confirms Claude was part of the working group, with Alpoge playfully disclaiming the good ideas. Which mathematical, computational or search steps were Claude's is still not stated anywhere, and no model version is given, so the tier stays at the floor the methodology prescribes for an unspecific disclosure.

Fully reproduced here on 12 August 2026, in two passes. The announcement is a single X long-post holding 23,828 characters of "+" and "-": no prose, no separators. The first pass scanned the raw string for seed shapes and found three Goethals-Seidel quadruples (orders 892, 1132, 1244), verified exactly, but no order-668 seed - correctly, since the payload is not a seed list. What it missed is that Alpoge's own reply to the post is a decoder: a sed-obfuscated shell script declaring twelve records and five builder routines. This site reimplemented the sed transformation in Python, read the decoded script before executing anything (pure sed/sh, no network, writes only under /tmp), and ran it. It emits twelve sign blocks, and its header table independently names the four orders the raw scan had already found, cross-validating both decodings. Every block was then checked in exact integer arithmetic: entries in and on the nose, for = 668, 716, 892, 1132, 1244, 1388, 1436, 1676, 1772, 1916, 1948 and 1964 - all twelve previously-open admissible orders below 2000, exactly as the thread claims. The order-668 matrix has diagonal 668 everywhere and maximum absolute off-diagonal entry 0. The submitter reports an equivalent reproduction, done separately from this one. No independent expert review or published write-up exists yet, so site-confirmed records this site's own exact-arithmetic reproduction, not community acceptance.
