Story summary
- OpenAI announced its AI model solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem.
- Mathematicians said the breakthrough makes the field feel unstable and threatens traditional research.
- OpenAI denied that its model learned from NYU’s Tristan Buckmaster or Anthropic’s Levent Alpöge.
- Prof. David Silvester warned mathematicians may become auditors of AI-generated proofs.
- Lecturers now tell undergraduates to avoid AI for some assignments but allow it for others.
