TL;DR
- OpenAI claims to have solved the Navier-Stokes problem, a 90-year-old mathematical challenge.
- The solution was reportedly achieved using an internal AI model trained on mathematics.
- Researchers Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge published findings on a related problem the day before OpenAI's announcement.
- Buckmaster questioned if OpenAI's AI had access to their work, specifically their sessions in OpenAI's Codex.
- OpenAI stated that no specific user data was accessed but could not rule out the use of de-identified data derived from product usage.
- OpenAI does not plan to claim the $1 million prize for solving the problem.
