The source claims ζ(s) ≠ 0 for Re(s) > 7/8, and the same region for every Dirichlet L-function, with principal-character poles at s = 1 excluded. It also claims this for finite-order Hecke L-functions over Q(√−3).
Assumptions
Classical ζ and Dirichlet characters of every positive modulus.
For principal Dirichlet characters exclude s = 1; ζ’s pole is not a zero.
The source claims an unconditional theorem; OpenMath has not accepted the proof or audited the formal dependencies.
Scope
A claimed fixed half-plane, stronger than a region shrinking toward 1, but weaker than RH.
This source presents a theorem with a proposed proof. Its wording does not establish acceptance or independent mathematical review.
If validated, this would exclude zeros to the right of 7/8 at every height; it would still leave 1/2 < Re(s) ≤ 7/8 unresolved. This proposed Claim is not included in established progress.
Relationship not independently reviewed. This concerns its use in this problem.

OpenAI claims a fixed zero-free half-plane Re(s) > 7/8 for zeta and all Dirichlet L-functions.

OpenAI attributes this collection to an unreleased internal model. The zero-free-region work is an exception to the usual fixed evaluation procedure; the alternate 11/12 writeup was human-edited for readability. Do not infer a public model version or attribute individual GPT-6 submissions to this company release.
