The consensus is that proof is in fact incorrect. People tried really hard (like putting in a year of effort) and most converged to the same place, that proof of 3.12 is incorrect or has a gap. Peter Scholze (who won Fields Medal) and Jakob Stix did a writeup. People seem to think Shinichi Mochizuki correctly reduced ABC conjecture to 3.12, but didn't prove 3.12, and also are doubtful about the whole program because 3.12 doesn't seem any easier than ABC conjecture while complicating everything.
