Rumor: Anthropic may have sniped OpenAI's Navier-Stokes breakthrough amid Codex session drama

teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-08

X user teortaxesTex speculates that a major Navier-Stokes result may involve a spat between OpenAI and Anthropic: OpenAI allegedly didn't move fast enough on employee Codex sessions (possibly involving Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge), letting Anthropic "snipe the biggest mathematical result this century." The author frames it as further reputational damage for a trillion-dollar AGI company. Unverified rumor and speculation only.
