An unverified account relays OpenAI's claim that an internal system, more powerful than the unreleased GPT-6 Astra, used 10,000 agents to close a 90-year-old Millennium Prize Problem around the Navier-Stokes equations in 88 hours. Astra then spent 17 hours converting the result into Lean so every step could be machine-verified. The model behind it is not publicly available, and OpenAI has not officially confirmed the claim.
