Per Axios and Wired, OpenAI says an internal AI model produced a proof resolving the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem. The effort reportedly started Sep 1 after researchers heard rumors two Millennium Prize problems had been solved, with 10,000 concurrent agents reaching the result in about 88 hours. The claim is unverified and awaits independent mathematical review.
