The free Picard n-groupoid conjecture for the sphere spectrum

Let S=ΣS0\mathbb{S}=\Sigma^\infty S^0 be the sphere spectrum, and let τ[0,n]S\tau_{[0,n]}\mathbb{S} denote its truncation to degrees from 00 through nn. Let FL(n)\mathcal{F}_L^{(n)} be the free Picard nn-groupoid on one formal object LL. Free Picard n-groupoid conjecture. The Picard nn-groupoid corresponding to τ[0,n]S\tau_{[0,n]}\mathbb{S} should be identified with FL(n)\mathcal{F}_L^{(n)}. This is part of the proposed dictionary between spectra and Picard nn-groupoids, with the sphere spectrum playing the role of the integers as the unit of the symmetric monoidal stable homotopy category. The supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
