OpenAI announced an advanced AI system produced a proof and Lean formalization showing smooth 3D Navier-Stokes solutions can develop singularities in finite time, addressing part of a Millennium Prize Problem. The effort involved ~10,000 agents over ~88 hours with estimated ~$15M compute cost.
This represents a first major AI-solved Millennium problem claim, showcasing frontier AI capabilities in mathematical research. However, it sparked controversy over timing and credit attribution (near-simultaneous related work by others including Anthropic-linked researchers), and broader safety debates about compute demands for alignment. Discussions center on AI racing versus responsible development.

CryptoSavingExpert ®@CryptoSavingExpMeta CEO Mark Zuckerberg backs Jensen Huang's view that AI safety concerns shouldn't be used to slow down development. Two of the biggest names in tech are now pushing back against calls for a slowdown in AI. The debate is becoming less about whether AI will transform the…
