OpenAI GPT–6 Astra breaking an Enigma message that has resisted solution since 2005. On 15 September 2026, Carter Leffer contacted me to request validation of a break of the German Army Enigma message MVUEH of 10 July 1941. The message, which was sent by a radio station with the tactical callsign 2ny, was received by the radio station of the SS-Totenkopf Quartiermeister, Ib. Ib received the message at 17:30 on 10 July 1941 and logged the message as Nr. 172 in its log of incoming messages for July 1941. Since 2005, the message has resisted all attempts to break it. On 9 June 2017, Alex Shovkoplyas succeeded in breaking another unbroken message from this day, Nr. 173, SIPVX.
