BB(6):
- Andrew Ducharme and @mxdys both found a family of 10 halting TMs independently, all halting in around $10^{69}$ steps.
- @mxdys decided two machines’ fates from the 50 Random Holdouts released in August, making 8/50 machined solved as of this month.
BB(7): Andrew Ducharme has continued reducing the number of holdouts, from 59,727,905 to 29,781,771 (50.14% reduction)
BB(2,6): First, Andrew Ducharme has continued reducing the number of holdouts from 18,054,938 to 17,629,828 (2.35% reduction). Then Terry Ligocki shared that he ran 14 of @mxdys deciders on the holdouts list, reducing the holdout count to a flattering 1,300,334 TMs (92.63% reduction).

John Tromp announced on Discord that a 350-bit $BB\lambda (n)$ function now reaches the limit of BMS, an improvement from the previous 404 bits.
