What OpenAI claims

For every fixed integer s ≥ 5, proves r(s,t)=ts-1/(log t)s-2+o(1) as t → ∞, determining the logarithmic exponent and matching the classical upper bound at that scale. Here r(s,t) is the least number of vertices forcing an s-clique or a t-vertex independent set. (Lean)

Status

Preprint. The papers have not been independently reviewed. Treat the result as OpenAI's claim until other mathematicians have checked it. If a video exists, it illustrates the statement; it is not the proof.
