Density conjecture for sums of three binary squares

About 9 years old · traced to

Let S3S_3 be the set of natural numbers that are the sum of three binary squares, and let α3\alpha_3 denote its lower asymptotic density.

Density conjecture. The lower asymptotic density satisfies

α3<0.9.\alpha_3<0.9.

This conjecture is motivated by numerical evidence concerning representations as sums of binary squares. The supplied context does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
