OpenAI's agent swarm cracked a famous fluid equation in 88 hours.
OpenAI said on Tuesday its agents proved that the Navier-Stokes fluid equations can break down. About 10,000 copies of an unreleased model ran 88 hours, and proof software checked the result. An NYU mathematician says OpenAI scooped his team and pushed him to drop a coauthor.
Why it mattersMachines can now push a research frontier that had resisted mathematicians for decades. How labs treat the humans they race is becoming as important as the results.
