OpenAI solves 90-year-old Navier-Stokes maths problem with 10,000 AI agents; NYU professor who spent a year on the same problem using OpenAI’s own AI says: “I asked again, about training, and I did…”

OpenAI says an unreleased AI model has solved the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, a fluid dynamics question that has resisted mathematicians for roughly 90 years and carries a $1 million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute. The company set about 10,000 AI agents on the task. They returned a proof in 88 hours.

Tuesday’s announcement should have been a clean win for the ChatGPT maker.
