OpenAI announced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem — unresolved for 90 years — produced by a group of agents running on a next-generation model claimed to be more capable than GPT-6 Astra, using 10k concurrent agents. Former OpenAI employee Oleg Murk (5 years there) shared the news while publishing an "AI Pragmatist Manifesto": AI could compress the first half of the 20th century into the next 5 years, and he argues for sane regulation without doom or utopia, noting such models may soon run locally on high-end consumer hardware.
