Altman claims OpenAI model solved Navier-Stokes, a Millennium Prize problem

Citing @aitapehq: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told the UN Security Council that an OpenAI model has now solved the Navier-Stokes equations, one of the unsolved Millennium Prize problems — just three summers after he said OpenAI models were only okay at grade-school math.
Poster victorexplore draws the takeaway: evals written against today's capability ceiling have about a year of shelf life, so pick tasks that stay hard after the model gets one grade smarter.
Note: this claim comes only from Altman's remarks as relayed; no paper or official proof has been published yet.
