OpenAI claims agent-generated proof of Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
andreisavu · x · 2026-09-09
OpenAI announced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, which asks whether smooth three-dimensional fluid motion described by the equations can break down and has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years. The proof was produced by a group of agents using an OpenAI next-generation model described as significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The claim immediately sparked a credit dispute with another team over Euler vs. Navier-Stokes results.
