‘A-Team’ of Math Proves a Critical Link Between Addition and Sets
A team of four prominent mathematicians, including two Fields medalists, proved a conjecture described as a “holy grail of additive combinatorics.” Within a month, a loose collaboration verified it with a computer-assisted proof.

I'm probably late to the party but congrats to everyone involved for finishing this proof!
