- A widely-shared X thread claims Claude may have solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Problem, which would be one of AI's biggest moments if the proof survives expert review.
- Key open questions: who supplied the central idea, how much guidance Claude needed, and whether the approach generalizes to other open problems.
- Commenters note it wouldn't instantly fix applications like weather forecasting, but would offer a concrete reason to reassess how much original scientific work these systems can do. The claim remains unverified.
