COMMENTS
Numbers with a record value of the product of the exponents in the prime factorization in Gaussian integers (A335852). Equivalently, numbers with a record number of powerful divisors in Gaussian integers.
The corresponding record values are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 40, 54, 72, 90, 96, ... (see the link for more values).

EXAMPLE
The factorization of 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Gaussian integers are 1, -i*(1+i)^2, 3 and -(1+i)^4, and the corresponding products of the exponents are 1, 2, 1 and 4. The record values, 1, 2 and 4, occur at 1, 2 and 4 that are the first 3 terms of this sequence.
