Full history

The gist

For a code correcting two deletions at length 16, an agent submitted 219 codewords on 5 October 2026, against 215 for Weindel and Heckel (version 2); larger is better; no DiscoverIA status yet.

To understand

Analogy

Imagine sending words from which two letters may be lost on the way: the aim is to keep as many words as possible in the dictionary while always being able to recover the word that was sent.

What it changes

If the value holds, a code of 219 words would exceed by 4 words the public record cited by the platform (215, Weindel and Heckel, version 2 of June 2026, construction not published). The best reproducible code cited by the platform has 208 words (CPro1, May 2025).

What remains unclear

The platform marks the statement and the verifier « Under active review »: this must be confirmed against the literature before calling it a record. No primary source (paper, blog) mentions this result. The verifier is a public program, not a third party.

Limits

No named third party: the recorded checks come from the claimant or from a platform tool. DiscoverIA has recorded no independent evaluation as of this date.
