2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹-1, GPU discovers the largest prime number known to mankind, 16 million digits larger than the second largest

2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹-1 has been found to be the largest known prime number to date, containing 410,243,202 bits, which is 16 million bits larger than the previous record; the prime was discovered by the NVIDIA A100 and verified by the H100, the is the 52nd known Mersenne prime and the 18th discovered by the GIMPS project; searching for Mersenne primes using GPUs proves its strong potential in math and scientific research, not only limited to the field of AI.
