OpenAI shares an AI-generated solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
Original titleYes, this result cost millions of dollars.

OpenAI says a group of agents using an unreleased next-generation model produced a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, a question about whether smooth 3D fluid motion can break down that has stayed open for about 90 years.
Noam Brown says the result cost millions of dollars, but argues that Astra now scores higher on ARC-AGI for about $20, versus roughly $500,000 for o3 on ARC-AGI 1.

The post quotes OpenAI's claim about an AI-produced Navier-Stokes solution and adds cost comparisons that show how quickly test-time compute costs are falling.
