Paper: OpenAI's Navier–Stokes solution doesn't match its Lean verification

A new paper argues that OpenAI's claimed solution to Navier–Stokes does not match its Lean verification, making a deep point: a Lean-verified proof does not automatically validate the natural-language proof, nor does it guarantee the formal statement captures the intended theorem.

Author Valerio Capraro calls this more important reading than OpenAI's 700 AI-generated math papers, highlighting the gap between formal verification and semantic intent in AI-produced mathematics. Paper link in the original post.
