10,000 OpenAI agents crack 90-year-old Navier-Stokes mystery in just 88 hours

SMRTR summary

OpenAI deployed roughly 10,000 AI agents over 88 hours and found a possible solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, a math problem unsolved for 90 years. The agents showed that a tightening fluid vortex can cause velocity to become infinite while keeping total energy controlled. Mathematicians still must verify the proof.
