OpenAI told the New York Times it has made « substantial progress » on a second Millennium Prize Problem after claiming to have solved the Navier-Stokes equations on September 8. Online speculation points to the Hodge Conjecture, a 1950 problem about counting « holes » in complex multidimensional geometric shapes. The Navier-Stokes proof required roughly 10,000 coordinating AI agents working for about 88 hours. The Clay Mathematics Institute’s review of OpenAI’s Navier-Stokes proof is still pending, and a credit dispute with mathematician Tristan Buckmaster remains unresolved. OpenAI has stated it does not want the $1 million prize money.
