Of the Navier-Stokes equations.
voice-verified
It's a 200-year-old problem in fluid dynamics, which has puzzled mathematicians ever since.
voice-verified
At the turn of the century, which is to say in the of the year 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institution put up a $1 million award for any mathematician.
voice-verified
actually anyone, but you gotta be seriously deep into math who could offer a proof.
voice-verified
On the Clay Math site, they succinctly describe the problem.
voice-verified
They write Waves follow our boat as we meander across the lake, and turbulent air currents follow our flight in a modern jet.
voice-verified
Mathematicians and physicists believe that an explanation for and the prediction of both the breeze and the turbulence can be found through an understanding of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
voice-verified
Although these equations were written down in the nineteenth century, our understanding of them remains minimal.
voice-verified
The challenge is to make substantial progress toward a mathematical theory which will unlock the secrets hidden in the Navier Stokes equations.
voice-verified
So this is what OpenAI announced last week.
voice-verified
Um, I want to share a bit of background from Wired's coverage of this since it factors into the point I'm working toward here.

The proof concerns the Navier Stokes equation, one of the unsolved problems in the Clay Millennium Prizes, which are each worth a million dollars.

Sebastian Bubeck, a mathematician and AI researcher at OpenAI, said in a press briefing that the company began training a new AI model with advanced mathematical capabilities on

On august twenty eighth.

After reading rumors that Anthropic was making progress towards solving Navy or Stokes, Bubeck said the company decided to dedicate more resources to tackling the problem.
voice-verified
Ooh, right, let's get there first.
voice-verified
You know, Anthropic might be, you know, you know, we need we we we need that press release.

Wired wrote, the company had more than one thousand agents tackle the problem over more than fifty hours.
