New paper: OpenAI's Navier-Stokes blow-up construction fails for the Clay zero-forcing formulation

burny_tech · x · 2026-09-19

Per a new Constantin-Ignatova-Vicol paper cited by Scott Armstrong, the OpenAI Navier-Stokes blow-up construction cannot yield an analytic forcing term, so it does not work for zero forcing as in formulation (A) of the Clay problem. Reposting, Obhishek Saha notes half the replies misunderstand the claim as an outright error in OpenAI's proof, quipping that 'AI democratised mathematical discovery but hasn't done much for literacy.'
