OpenAI announced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, unresolved for roughly 90 years, concerning whether smooth 3D fluid motion can break down. The proof was produced by a group of agents running an OpenAI next-generation model described as significantly more capable than "GPT-6 Astra". If verified, it would be a landmark for AI for math.
