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 using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. A Google DeepMind researcher congratulated all involved and revealed DeepMind teams had also made very good progress on the problem, calling the pace of progress unprecedented.
