"$10M+ compute on Navier-Stokes, $100M+ on other unpublished discoveries"
ilkamoi · reddit · 2026-10-29
A Reddit post quotes a podcast interview claiming over $10 million of compute was spent on Navier-Stokes, and over $100 million on other scientific discoveries — "much more than what we have published."
If accurate, the figure suggests frontier labs are directing massive compute toward math and science problems, with many results still unpublished.
