Open. The site labels the problem OPEN (page last edited 3 December 2025). Its commentary credits two bounds. Konyagin's 2004 bound on the finite analogue, Problem 1109, gives for every infinite set with squarefree sums, recorded on Konyagin 2004. Van Doorn and Tao's first arXiv version (30 November 2025) proves for all and constructs a squarefree such set with , recorded on van Doorn and Tao 2025. The site's proof-claims tab carries a partial proof claim by Xiyu Hu, submitted on 23 July 2026 under the username hxypqr with GPT-5.6 Sol named as assistance: an infinite set with squarefree pairwise sums, doubles included, and , so that , built from van Doorn and Tao's extension method and Konyagin's quadratic Brun sieve, with a partial Lean 4 development; it is recorded on its claim page (Hu, 2026). The claim concerns the construction side only and has no acceptance evidence.
