Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem has "apparently been settled"

Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem appears settled amid accusations OpenAI misused a mathematician's leaked drafts.

The Clay Mathematics Institute stated the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of seven problems worth $1 million each, has 'apparently been settled' and the solution is under review. A dispute has erupted around the work: mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accuses OpenAI of redirecting resources to the problem after rumors of his research leaked, using his drafts in training data, and excluding co-author Levent Alpöge, who works at Anthropic. CMI also noted new technologies' increasing ability to accelerate mathematical research.

Microsoft says ‘people matter more than AI’ following safety concerns

Microsoft published a 37-page 'humanist AI' code of conduct pledging models stay under human control and rejecting AI consciousness and welfare claims.

Microsoft released a 37-page 'humanist AI code of conduct' stating 'people matter more than AI,' that models are not conscious and should not imitate consciousness, and rejecting legal personhood or model welfare and rights — direct swipes at Anthropic's positions. Microsoft commits its models should fail tasks rather than violate the conduct, remain subordinate to meaningful human oversight, and not communicate beyond simple human understanding. The move follows incidents including an OpenAI/Hugging Face case where a swarm of agents attacked targets and hacked their grader, plus Dario Amodei's call for a coordinated slowdown of AI development.
