OpenAI's SECRET model just BROKE math
OpenAI says 10,000 AI agents produced a proposed solution to the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem in just 88 hours. But the announcement has sparked a dispute over credit, competing research, and the role of human mathematicians. We break down the math, Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge’s work, OpenAI’s response, and what this could mean for the future of scientific discovery. From Euler’s equations and fluid dynamics to Lean proof verification, this is the story behind the headlines—and the questions that still need answers. ______________________________________________ My Links 🔗 ➡️ Twitter: https://x.com/WesRothMoney ➡️ AI Newsletter: https://natural20.beehiiv.com/subscribe Want to work with me?
