OpenAI spent $6.5M to solve Navier-Stokes Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. “The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.” Follow: @AFpost
