No, OpenAI did not solve the Navier-Stokes equations, experts clarify
gerardsans · x · 2026-09-18
A rebuttal article pushes back on the widespread impression that OpenAI somehow "solved the Navier–Stokes equations" and delivered a massive breakthrough for fluid dynamics.
The author clarifies that the Navier–Stokes problem remains unsolved, and amplifiers of the claim add that "NS remains unsolved," urging against overstating the significance of OpenAI's related work.
