OpenAI has made a significant breakthrough in mathematics by solving the Navier-Stokes problem, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems. The company's new AI model, significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra, produced a proof for the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equations in just 88 hours. The proof, produced by a group of 10,000 agents, was verified using GPT-6 Astra and published in the Lean language. The Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of fluids and gases, and the problem asked whether these equations break down completely in certain situations. OpenAI's proof claims to have identified such a situation, something that no one could do for over 200 years. This is the second millennium problem to be solved by AI, following the Poincaré conjecture solved by Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman.
