For the first time, entire tl is full of the same thing, would have never guessed it would be navier stokes.

Doing my part by gaslighting the agents

The reason your tea will never explode and your planes will keep having turbulence is that physics solved the Navier-Stokes problem long before math did

[Konsti Wohlwend @konstiwohlwend]

drama summary for those confused:

- Aug 15th: Tristan Buckmaster & Levent Alpöge make progress on a few important math problems

- they do NOT have a proof for the $1,000,000 Millenium Prize problem. BUT, they do claim to have a proof for a similar (non-Millenium) Navier Stokes problem that could help lead the way there

- Levent works at Anthropic, but this research was independent of his work there, with a mix of GPT and Claude models. Tristan is not related to Anthropic.

- Early Sep: Rumor spreads to OpenAI that Anthropic has solved a major problem. Tristan emails OpenAI to clarify. without revealing the problem they solved or how they did it.

- After hearing of the rumor, OpenAI started researching Navier Stokes with a new internal model.

- Sep 6th: OpenAI's Sebastien Bubeck tells Tristan that they solved the $1,000,000 Millenium Prize Navier Stokes problem. The approach is very similar to Tristan & Levent's approach to the non-Millenium problem.

- Tristan is suspicious of the timing, as only few others were trying this approach. OpenAI says the model didn't access his user data directly, but leaves unanswered whether Tristan's chat conversations were part of the training.

- OpenAI says they would partially credit Tristan for the $1,000,000 discovery (even though Tristan did not solve the $1,000,000 problem) — but only if they remove Levent as an author, as he works for Anthropic.

- Sep 8th: Tristan refuses to remove Levent, and rushes to publish their results independently.

Currently unclear is whether Anthropic had a separate solution for the $1,000,000 problem, or whether the rumor was about Tristan & Levent's independent research.

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 idea of making an OpenAI movie right now feels way too early, but the perfect Facebook movie ends like this so I don’t think it’s really gonna matter if it’s good

Estamos en la parte de la película donde el científico avisa y nadie le da pelota 🍿

Oh man F1 will be very boring :/

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS NAVIER STOKES?

[Evan Hubinger @EvanHub]

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigns, warning the company is racing toward superintelligence that “could kill us all by the end of the decade.”

[Jay Cummings @LongFormMath]

I...worked on this proof for a year...and...they just…tweeted it out.

[Aaron Lou @aaron_lou]

There are centuries where nothing happens, and there are days where centuries happen.

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

remembering buckminsterfullerene today.

[AI Search @aisearchio]

Feel the acceleration.

OpenAI solves a Millenium Prize problem and Google's AlphaGenome maps out the human DNA.

It's only Tuesday 😭
