- Prediction: Andrew Curran claims Anthropic has solved a Millennium Prize Problem — specifically Navier–Stokes — via Claude, with the solution submitted for expert review, and predicts an official announcement before a potential IPO.
- Follow-up statement: He then deleted the original post and published a full "statement" page by page, calling it "a complicated situation," hinting at corroboration.
- Context: Only 7 Millennium Prize Problems exist, each with a $1M Clay Institute bounty; Navier–Stokes is considered among the hardest. Unconfirmed rumor — neither Anthropic nor mathematicians have verified it.
