On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
OpenAI says an unreleased model produced a claimed solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, disputed by an NYU mathematician.
OpenAI used an unreleased model to produce a claimed solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems carrying a $1,000,000 prize since May 24, 2000. The result is contested: NYU mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster accused collaborators of skulduggery and rushed out his own competing results with mathematician Levent Alpoge, who works at Anthropic. The dispute is documented in a published PDF describing the competing claims.
- OpenAI used an unreleased model to produce a claimed solution to the Navier-Stokes smoothness problem
- Navier-Stokes is one of seven Millennium Prize Problems with a $1,000,000 prize since 2000

On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem Impressive result from OpenAI, who used an unreleased model to produce a solution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem , one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems that have been subject to a $1,000,000 prize since May 24th, 2000. The discovery is somewhat overshadowed by accusations of skulduggery from Tristan Buckmaster, an NYU mathematics professor who was collaborating on the problem with Levent Alpöge, an accomplished mathematician who currently works for Anthropic. Tristan's complaint accompanied a hastily published version of their own results. Here's the PDF describing what happened . The very short version is that…
