4.9M messages, 300B tokens, 10,000 agents: details of OpenAI's Navier–Stokes run
willdepue · x · 2026-09-09
OpenAI's Will Depue shared scale details of the Navier–Stokes effort: 4.9 million messages, 300 billion tokens, and 10,000 concurrent agents, with the team denying any borrowing of prior work. He notes the new astra-next model shows seemingly insane benchmarks and that the system solved the unforced version of the problem, not the forced version.
