There is project called Large Bitcoin Collider which uses the  hashing power of involved folks for finding collision. Currently LBC is capable to generate on average up to 90Mkeys/sec.  Please, have a look on  their trophies so far:
-snip-
The probability to find collision with LBC is vanishingly small, but...there is always a but.
Those "trophies" are specifically created from private keys with a very small search-space.
e.g.: starting from 0x01, 0x03, 0x07.... 0x236fb6d5ad1f43 (#54) and higher ranges.

They are merely bruteforcing private keys starting from 0x01 to their target range of the puzzle transaction (link) to match the same private key used by the creator of the puzzle.
It has nothing to do with collision.
