OpenAI claims to have solved Navier-Stokes problem: One of math’s hardest unsolved mysteries

OpenAI said Tuesday that one of its unreleased artificial intelligence models had solved a mathematical puzzle that has eluded mathematicians for generations, in a claim which also drew a fight with rival researchers over credit.

Researchers at OpenAI said it took just days — and millions of dollars in computing power — to crack what is known as the Navier-Stokes problem.
