We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
"The perfect is the enemy of the very good."
Joel Mokyr gives some important advice that can be applied to most subjects aside from mathematics – don't expect perfection. He says he does his best, acknowledges what he does not know and moves on.
Mokyr was awarded the 2025 prize in economic sciences for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress.

@bcherny@EricBuess What stops OpenClaw from wrapping the Agent SDK as a "personal local tool"? The high-usage problem you're trying to solve will come back through the SDK. Vague policies don't stop bad actors, they just punish legitimate devs... Are you and the legal team on the same page, Boris?
Demis Hassabis’s “Einstein test” for defining AGI:
Train a model on all human knowledge but cut it off at 1911, then see if it can independently discover general relativity (as Einstein did by 1915);
if yes, it’s AGI.
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt “for having explained innovation-driven economic growth” with one half to Mokyr “for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress” and the other half jointly to Aghion and Howitt “for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction.”
