Mathematician presses Anandkumar/OpenAI paper: numerical candidate vs. proven stable Euler singularity
lpachter · x · 2026-09-09
Lior Pachter questions the Anandkumar/OpenAI singularity paper: is the claimed 'found' solution a numerical candidate or an exact Euler solution with proved stability? The paper itself admits the nonlinear stability proof remains unfinished, and its approximate profiles only offer numerical evidence against the Hou–Jin–Liu conjecture rather than disproving it.
