AI cracks fluid blow-up proofs in a month as mathematicians accuse OpenAI of poaching and threats
AI寒武纪 · wechat · 2026-09-08
NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic's Levent Alpöge published proofs of finite-time blow-up for the porous medium, Boussinesq, and 3D incompressible Euler equations under smooth forcing — completed in a month with AI models and verified in Lean, with Terence Tao praising the work. Alongside, a four-page statement accuses OpenAI exec Sébastien Bubeck of rushing an internal team to scoop the results, demanding Alpöge be dropped from authorship, and threatening Buckmaster's career when he refused.
