A claimed AI solution to the Navier–Stokes problem and a call for regulation
OpenAI says AI agents produced a proof for the Millennium Prize Problem. A user who says they spent about five years at the company argues that institutions could struggle to keep pace with AI’s capabilities.
TLDR
On September 8, OpenAI said a group of AI agents had produced a proof of the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem. The company describes the problem as whether the equations’ description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion can break down. It said the agents used a next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
Quoting the announcement on September 15, a user who says they spent about five years at OpenAI argued for “sane AI regulation.” Their case combines enthusiasm about AI’s potential with concern that institutions could struggle to keep pace. They warned about the risks of powerful AI becoming widely available to individuals or small groups, including potential uses in weapons design, hacking and information warfare.
