Mathematicians Split Over OpenAI's Claimed Navier-Stokes Result as Villani Calls It a Cataclysm
OpenAI says roughly ten thousand autonomous agents running on an unreleased model found a mathematical singularity in about 88 hours, and says it will not claim the million-dollar prize.
Two weeks after OpenAI announced that an ensemble of autonomous agents had resolved the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes regularity problem, the mathematical community is still working through what happened. The French mathematician and Fiel…
