AI Just Claimed to Crack the Navier-Stokes Problem. It's Part of a Much Bigger Pattern

Automated excerpt

Meta description: OpenAI says an AI model found a singularity in the Navier-Stokes equations, one of math's Millennium Prize Problems. Mathematician Thomas Bloom's catalog of Paul Erdős's roughly 1,200 open problems has become the de facto benchmark for AI math capability. In May 2026, an internal OpenAI model disproved Erdős's 1946 planar unit-distance conjecture widely described as the first AI math result with real historical weight.
