OpenAI says AI solved the Navier-Stokes problem
the company says 10,000 AI agents produced a proof and Lean formalization in 88 hours. the result still needs independent expert review.

then the credit dispute exploded
viral posts alleged Pieter Codex work influenced the result. OpenAI disputes the account. the claims remain contested.
their internal chat, it emerged that an entire team had been working on the problem, that this was one of a number of things that was tried, that work had zeroed on the "unformed problem", that the team first, of the model on easier problems, including Euler, that even the prompt that had been shown to me had been written by prompting Codex, and that an insane amount of compute had been used.
I asked when the first prompt had been sent by them. This question was not answered directly by OpenAI for some time. Eventually it was agreed that it had been sent in the past few days, after information about our work had reached OpenAI.
I asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions in Codex, after which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this project. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about training, and I did not get an answer.
"Two proposals were offered to me. The first was that we post our Euler 'reply', and that OpenAI post its Navier-Stokes 'reply' the next day. The second was that, after posting Euler, I alone write a paper presenting the Navier-Stokes result, acknowledging that an internal OpenAI model had resolved it. Sebastian Twigg asserted that he wanted "Levent" recovered from authorship, and said it would be possible if only it was not the one that I and he was so annoying that Levent works at Anthropic. It was also said that if OpenAI posted after us, they could say that we deserved the "Clay Prize", and that we were the "closest humans to the problem". I declined both offers.
I said that if OpenAI released its result in the way proposed I would go public with what happened. The reply was, "Why wouldn't you run your career, if I replied that I am at academician, replied with "I thought going public would ruin my career." The reply was, "If you don't want me to be nice, then I don't have to be nice."
Some time later Levent received a text proposing that he and Sebastien speak one on one, saying, "I don't know if Tristan is being fully rational right now." Levent declined and said conversations should be with me. Sebastien sent a follow-up email that night requesting to speak with me on Monday, September

an AI-designed drug reached Phase III
Rentosertib also shifted 6 proteomic aging clocks younger in a small Phase II analysis. that is not proven physical age reversal.
Not slower. Younger.
-3 to -4 YEARS YOUNGER

AI found a possible 3D Euler singularity
a physics-informed neural network found a candidate in free space. researchers then refined it for stability analysis.

We have found stable singularity on 3D Euler!
anima-ai.org/2026/09/07/sta...
Our starting point is a physics-informed neural network (PINN) to come up with an approximate answer, and then to argue stability around that to complete the proof.
The challenge so far has been that PINNS Show more
