OpenAI's Navier-Stokes breakthrough is pure math, warns researcher amid hype
relizarov · x · 2026-09-09
relizarov cautions that OpenAI's Navier-Stokes breakthrough is a purely mathematical advance with no direct path to practical engineering wins like artificial hearts or clot prevention. Anima Anandkumar counters that physics-centric approaches (unforced Euler) are already powering high-resolution weather models, plasma simulation, and medical/chip design.
