Drama swirls around OpenAI’s legendary mathematical milestone
Summary
OpenAI announced that it used an internal AI model more powerful than GPT-6 Astra, along with 10,000 concurrent agents (multiple AI instances running at the same time), to solve the Navier-Stokes problem, a major math problem about liquid and gas flow that has remained unsolved for about 90 years. This problem is one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, each offering a $1 million reward for a solution.
