That’s according to a statement OpenAI provided to The New York Times shortly after its Navier-Stokes breakthrough: > In addition, since the completion of Navier-Stokes, we have made substantial progress on another Millennium Prize problem. We are working through how to share these results thoughtfully. [Link: An N.Y.U. Mathematician Clashed With OpenAI Over a $1 Million Proof | https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/science/tristan-buckmaster-openai-math-navier-stokes.html | The New York Times]

The company says it has cracked the physics of fluids using AI, solving one of the toughest puzzles in mathematics.

Mathematicians at OpenAI showed that the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids flow, can sometimes “blow up.” But the massive result is not without controversy.

Prior to the announcement, rumors were circulating online among mathematicians over the proof’s origins—OpenAI has denied all allegations

Researchers at OpenAI said it took just days-and millions of dollars in computing power-to crack what is known as the Navier-Stokes problem. Navier-Stokes is one of the seven…
