Dr Alan D. Thompson's Sep 12 Memo highlights OpenAI's system of 10,000 coordinating agents — powered by an internal model "significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra" — solving the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem in 88 hours (2.7M messages, 130B output tokens), after 100 agents solved the Euler regularity problem in 50 hours. Also: GPT-6 completing Portal, OpenAI humanoid robots, Meta Muse, XPENG IRON's automated factory, and NYC's one-year moratorium on student-facing generative AI covering 600,000 children.
