OpenAI says 10,000 coordinating AI agents solved Navier-Stokes in 88 hours
astralmatrix · x · 2026-09-09
OpenAI announced that its internal model group arrived at a Navier-Stokes solution in 88 hours, using around 10,000 coordinating AI agents.
The company claims the model represents a step-function improvement on many benchmarks, with training still ongoing. OpenAI emphasized it maintained strict safeguards — including monitoring and isolation — applied to all frontier evaluations throughout the effort.
The announcement quickly sparked controversy over research priority and data provenance, with an official denial of accessing unpublished work.
