Debate: how much did 10,000-agent parallel scaling actually contribute to the Navier-Stokes proof
scaling01 · x · 2026-09-18
A technical spat over how much credit the agent swarm deserves in the AI-assisted Navier-Stokes proof. One side claims the swarm's contribution is "probably quite low (10%)"; the counterargument is that the plot in question shows serial test-time-compute scaling, not parallel—and the proof literally wouldn't exist without this exact parallel scaling to 10,000 agents.
Two distinct questions emerge: how much did parallel TTC scaling to 10,000 agents actually speed up the discovery, and what role did the swarm itself play?
