Here is how to understand OpenAI’s major mathematical breakthrough
Since OpenAI announced its solution to one of the prestigious Millennium Prize Problems, mathematicians have been urgently trying to unpick what it means
Summary
One of the trickiest problems in mathematics has fallen to the hands of an advanced AI model. Following the announcement that OpenAI has resolved one tantalising aspect of the Navier-Stokes equations, researchers are now urgently trying to understand its implications. The Navier-Stokes equations were first written down around 200 years ago and describe the behaviour of fluids.
