The largest known prime number was found on 12 Oct 2024 and is 2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1. It is called M136279841. See https://www.mersenne.org/primes/?press=M136279841
I felt compelled to have a look at M136279841; however, it has 41,024,320 digits. So, I made do with looking at its first and last three digits (881, 551) and a plot of how frequent each digit is, using #RStats.

@andi is there a statistically significant difference in the digit distribution from random?
