OpenAI claims its next-gen model agents solved the 90-year-old Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
_arohan_ · x · 2026-09-09
OpenAI announced that a group of agents running on a next-generation internal model, described as significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra, produced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem — whether smooth three-dimensional fluid motion described by the equations can break down, unresolved for roughly 90 years. Commenters call it a landmark for transformers, pretraining, RL and test-time compute scaling.
