  "abstract": "We construct neutral AdS$_5$ black branes with source-free scalar hair that is entropically favored over the symmetric phase. A quadratic scalar--Gauss--Bonnet coupling destabilizes the thermal state while leaving the ultraviolet operator dimension fixed at $Δ=3$. The fully backreacted solutions require only a quadratic scalar potential. We describe how a neural-network search led to this simple model.",
