Mathematicians dispute OpenAI's Navier-Stokes claim as a 'dodge' — it solved 2 of 4 problems
aran_nayebi · x · 2026-09-23
OpenAI recently claimed to solve the Navier-Stokes millennium prize problem, but three mathematicians argue the work 'dodges the question rather than solving it,' per Scientific American. Mathematician Paul Calhoun pushes back: OpenAI solved 2 of the 4 eligible problems when only one was needed for the prize, and calling that a 'dodge' is 'new levels of cope.' A heated debate is unfolding over the substance of OpenAI's math result.
