OpenAI said a group of agents using a next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra produced a proof of the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, which asks whether smooth 3D fluid motion can break down and has been open for about 90 years. It said an internal model group reached the solution in 88 hours with about 10,000 coordinating agents. A community note says Tristan Buckmaster alleges the proof builds on his and Levent Alpöge’s recent related work; OpenAI denies this.
