As of April 14, 2014, one year after Zhang's announcement, according to the Polymath project wiki, n has been reduced to 246. [6] Further, assuming the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture and its generalized form, the Polymath project wiki states that n has been reduced to 12 and 6, respectively. [7] For n = 2, it is the twin prime conjecture.
