OpenAI announced it had managed to solve parts of the Navier-Stokes equations, a mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for approximately 90 years. The company stated it had achieved this feat in just 88 hours.
The announcement quickly generated controversy in the scientific and mathematical community. The Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of fluids and are considered one of the most important open problems in mathematics.
Two researchers made accusations against OpenAI regarding this announcement. The specific nature of the accusations was not detailed in the available portion of the article, but the disclosure of the mathematical achievement was received with skepticism by these researchers.
