Unverified claim: researchers accuse OpenAI of stealing their Claude-assisted Navier-Stokes methods
scaling01 · x · 2026-09-08
An unverified but circulating drama: researchers Levent and Tristan claim they made independent progress on Navier–Stokes with help from Claude and Codex, using novel methods. They allege:
- OpenAI soon claimed internal NS results using coincidentally identical methods
- Tristan asked whether OpenAI trained on his private Codex sessions and never got an answer
- He says OpenAI pressured him to publish without Levent (who works at Anthropic), and threatened his career when he refused
Quote-tweeter scaling01 reacts sarcastically. All claims are one-sided and unanswered by OpenAI — treat with caution.
