OpenAI's Internal Model just solved the Navier-Stokes Millenium Prize Problem


i had to ask Astra to explain this one to me.

OpenAI says its new internal model solved a maths problem people have worked on for 90 years.

it used 10,000 AI agents for 88 hours. the model's still being trained.

i filmed my reaction while trying to get my head around what that means. the result is wild.
