Navier-Stokes problem may be solved, stirring AI dispute
clay mathematics institute says navier-stokes problem has apparently been settled, but dispute with openai and anthropic researchers emerges.
the clay mathematics institute stated that the navier-stokes problem, one of seven millennium prize problems, has apparently been settled. the solution is currently under review, with the institute expressing hope for new human understanding to emerge from the work. however, a dispute has arisen, with mathematician tristan buckmaster accusing openai of redirecting resources to the problem after learning about his research, allegedly using his drafts in training data, and denying co-authorship to levent alpöge, who works at anthropic. this incident highlights the complex interactions between ai companies and academic researchers.
