OpenAI says 10,000-agent AI swarm cracked Navier-Stokes in 88 hours using 130B output tokens
Polymarket · x · 2026-09-09
According to a Polymarket post, OpenAI announced that a swarm of 10,000 AI agents solved the Navier–Stokes problem in 88 hours, consuming 130 billion output tokens to crack one of mathematics' most famous unsolved Millennium Problems.
The claim lands amid an ongoing public credit dispute between OpenAI and Anthropic over the Euler and Navier–Stokes proofs, with both the math and AI communities watching the verification and authorship fallout.
