OpenAI Solves Navier-Stokes — AI Math Milestone
A prominent French mathematician says OpenAI's resolution of the Navier-Stokes problem is so complex it likely could not have been found without AI, and might have taken 100 more years otherwise.
What we know
An account on X (Sabine Hossenfelder) RTs Fabien Mikol quoting Sylvia Serfaty: *'la résolution… est tellement complexe que, selon moi, il n'est pas clair qu'elle aurait pu être trouvée sans IA'* — translating roughly to 'the resolution is so complex that in my view it's not clear it could have been found without AI,' and that without computers we might have been at the same point in 100 years. This is a significant external validation of AI-assisted mathematical research.
