Is he the youngest right now or generally the youngest to achieve that? Since there always automatically has to be a youngest at every point in time that seems like a not so relevant detail.
In any case, well done mate!
Youngest ever was 12 and change, but depending on exactly how old this gm is, he'll be around the 4th-7th youngest chess grandmaster ever.
He's actually not even in the top 20 youngest gms which is crazy imo. https://www.chess.com/article/view/youngest-chess-grandmasters
