Cognition founder and 3x math Olympiad gold medalist Scott Wu claimed on TBPN that his team solved Navier-Stokes, a foundational fluid dynamics problem, using AI. "We just solved Navier-Stokes with AI. That is absurd. And I don't think it's going to stop." He stressed the long-standing problem was completed "in like a week." The claim remains the founder's own account, pending academic verification.
