Did OpenAI solve the wrong Navier-Stokes problem?
- Two weeks ago OpenAI claimed a solution to one of the biggest open problems in math—the Navier-Stokes problem—an achievement worth a $1-million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute.
- The proof ignited a powder keg of concern over artificial intelligence companies’ race to disrupt the subject.
- But with the dust still far from settled, a different controversy is emerging: Did OpenAI even solve the right Navier-Stokes problem?
