A Reddit post relays OpenAI's announcement that a swarm of roughly 10,000 AI agents solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem in about 88 hours, reportedly finding a finite-time singularity in the equations. The agents ran on a next-generation model OpenAI says is significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem has stood unsolved for 90 years. The poster notes the proof still awaits independent verification by mathematicians before the claim can be taken as settled.
