OpenAI claims agent-driven proof of the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem using a next-gen model

OpenAI announced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem — whether smooth 3D fluid motion described by the equations can break down — unresolved for roughly 90 years. The proof was produced by a group of agents running on an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. Observers joke that goalposts are being moved so often it's background noise now.
